Need some dual
I need to get some dual in an RV-6 before I go pick mine up. At least five hours.
Is there anyone close with an RV-6 who could work work with me on this? Thanks |

+1 for Kent
|
Spent some time with Kent this afternoon. Some great ground preparation, discussing various techniques, speeds, what to expect. Then off for 1.5 of mostly touch and goes. 3 pointers and a few wheel landings.
After 1.5 I was getting a little tired, but it was hard to get the grin off my face. What a fantastic airplane to fly and Kent is a great instructor. Going back for some more punishment tomorrow :-) |
+1 on Kent ... although he probably considers me one of his "problem students". I was not the fastest learner but Kent really worked with and for me.

and I was back for more punishment today :-) 1.5 in the am and another 1 or so this afternoon. Definitely learned that slippers (yesterdays footwear) work much better than hiking boots (todays choice) when operating rudders and brakes in the RV. Smooth as silk this morning, getting a little choppy but not too bad in the afternoon. I was certainly tired, mentally and physically, after all the 3 point landings, wheel landings, no-flap versions of these, and a little fun with stall-spin entries and return-to-airport scenarios. Considering the fact that before yesterday I could barely taxi the darn plane, I'm not feeling too bad that I'm only hitting 70% or so of my wheel landings (though doing a bit better on 3 pointers). Maybe in a couple more days....
