Hi,
I'm Mike Raviv, 61, retired Mechanical Engineer and quite active
aviation enthusiast. I live in Nesher, Israel. For many years I planned to build an airplane, now I got the time to do it.
This is a family project, with all family members trying to help as much as time allows them. You'll meet them all in the
following pages.
I did create this website to let my friends and other interested people check on my progress without having
to find me, phone me or visit me, each one on his own timing. Believe me, there are lots and lots of them and I could end
up talking about airplane building instead of doing that.
So I'll try to keep this site simple and efficient, with minimum time invested in it. As I said, I want to build
an airplane, not websites.
