Anyone actively building an RV near the Columbia Missouri area? I would love to come observe/help/ask questions.
I've been looking at flying and RV's for several years, but something about college and getting married put everything on hold. Now that we have two good incomes, I knocked out the pilots license this year and, after 100 hours, am already tired of the Spamcan 172 with its smoking 110 knots of cruise speed on 9 gal/hour. So......
ON TO THE NEXT
Originally the RV8 is what I was sold on building, love the idea of centerline seating, etc. However, one quick question of "Honey, would you rather stare at the back of my head and have great side-to-side visibility on those long (but way shorter) trips, or would you rather sit by my side?" yielded the inevitable answer. So, RV7 it is.
Since I operate strictly on the cash-only basis, it will be a couple months before I can get my shop finished and the Emp ordered. However, I would love to get some observation and brain-picking time with a current builder.
I'm also wondering about the possibility of getting a demo ride. I am willing to fly anywhere in Missouri from KVER and will gladly pay any flight expenses.
