Well, a lot of good stuff has been covered already, so I'll just say: I hope you don't like hills, 'cause we don't have any in Houston. On the plus side, if you can get 10' off the ground, you can see thunderstorms coming about an hour away.

Also, get ready to become intimately acquainted with the technology of air conditioning. It's about the only thing that makes this city habitable for six months out of the year.

Doug: thank you very much, sooner or later I'm sure I'll need some in-depth informations, I'll let you know.

DarylT: I'll plan to attend to your monthly meetings....by car Thanky our for the invitation

N546RV: That's something I'll miss a lot. I come from a small town surrounded by mountains... I'll need a little bit of time to accustom to the new landscape and... I'm already packing my summer clothes

Lucio: Ciao Lucio... la decisione ti assicuro è stata difficile, un cambiamento radicale... ma è anche emozionante pensando alle nuove opportunità. Ti farò sapere

Do someone has any suggestion for a good flight school in the area?

Hi Claudio,

Cypress has 2 local non-towered puplic airports KEYQ (with Flight School) and T51, Close by there is a Class D airport KDWH with multiple flight schools to choose from. I'm based at KEYQ along with Daryl above, unfortunately Daryl is getting to the age he can't count anymore, we have 4 RV's on the field 2 RV-7A's, 1 RV-6 and 1 RV-4, sorry Daryl
You will enjoy Cypress, I've been living in the area for 15 years, Moved here from Scotland 20 years ago so I know what your facing.

Looking forward to meeting you once you get here.

I moved to friendswood on the south side about a year ago. There are about a dozen rv's around here. I have an rv6. Houses sell for $250-$600k, friendswood has #1 school system in houston, ranked second safest town in Texas and is a 20 minute drive to houston/hobby airport. It is hot, flat and the winds are rarely ever calm, but you will get acclaimated to it. Welcome to houston

Claudio,

I live in Cypress and am building an RV-14A. Come by anytime you feel the need to pound a few rivets. I'm located at Dan Jones International (T51) and there are many RVs around in the local Cypress area. And yes, there are several good flight schools and instructors at several local airports.
