Default Visiting Switzerland

Hiya.

I'm visiting Zurich for work in late April.

I'm not [/totally/] sure about my travel schedule just yet, but if there are any HB-registered RV'ers interested in meeting up, that might have some influence on timing.

Reach out if you're interested.

Cheers,

- mark

Hey Mark, you might get a reply from Marcel who is a member here. He is building an RV4 in Switzerland and as luck would have it he is visiting Sydney during March/April. Already promised him a formation flight with the Stooges.

Well, that's convenient: as you can see from the photo, I have an empty seat :-)

Hi Mark

I'm building an RV-4 together with a friend not far away from Zurich (in Wettswil). Currently we do cowling work. So, not flying and not on an airport yet.
If you are interested I am happy to show you our plane. I fly and instruct glider on a small airfield between Zurich and Berne (Langenthal, LSPL). It has as well several interesting aircraft there (some experimentals, one RV-4, aerobatic planes and a lot of Buckers). So if you are interested in glider flying, let me know.

Cheers, Andreas

Hey Mark

I live close to Z?rich building an RV-7.
Happy to show my project and share a few beers.
There are other builders with finished RV's living close by, so we should be able to keep you entertained.

However, I don't have my schedule yet for April. We have to make plans for a visit later.

Cheers
Dan
