I bought the Herb Kelly plans from Loe Opdyke, and the replicraft plans. I't difficult to start in the middle of a project, I wasn't sure which ones the frame was started with. If I run into conflict with the two plans, I often email Achim for his opinion.

I recently visited Roger Freeman in Tx too, now that I have met him, I will keep more contact with him on building ideas. He (like everyone on this forum) has been very generous with their skill & knowledge.

I have been Gas welding the parts so far, but I am planning to buy a TIG machine after this (Army) school.

I am looking for others who are also building DVII or DVIII/Dr1 that might have compatible parts. If it is possible to double up on building certian parts & swap them, to speed up the project. If anyone interested, drop me a post!
