    Anyone wondering who we are talking about here is a good bio on the Kimball's. https://jkeworks.com/history/
    I met Kevin many years ago at Sun & Fun. Spent time at their booth talking airplanes with Kevin, Ben Morphew and lots of other interesting characters. I remember Kallin started flying lessons and was flying a neighbors Super Cub. He loved to rib stitch. I told him I thought he was crazy. He was stitching Pitts Model 12 wings. He has grown up and learned the craft from his dad and grand dad. They have built and restored some beautiful aircraft.

    The first time my cousin Rick too me by their shop--- I saw Kellin with a pitts 12 up on edge in a wing rack rib stitching away.
    he was obviously good at it and enjoying it. Quite impressive what they have done on the Vega -- how they made the rings for the fuselage. They were making a really high end wooden boat at one point--- but it may have been just a prototype for a made to order product.
