First post...
I've been lurking here for a year or so, but recently bought an RV-3A and decided it was time to join up and support the site.
I want to dedicate my first post to Steve Hurlburt who made the purchase of the RV-3A (my first owned aircraft) a much less stressful experience.
Steve is a member of this site and has built several RVs. He happened to live in the same city where the RV-3A was listed for sale. Although I only know Steve through this site, he agreed to perform a pre-buy inspection on my behalf, including a test flight. He then provided me with in-depth written reports on both. And he did this without any expectation of compensation! I was truly impressed with his incredible support. His feedback allowed me to proceed with the purchase knowing I wouldn't be disappointed.
As I begin my own journey into the Van's world, it's encouraging to know there are such fine people around who are willing to help out when asked.
Thanks Steve. I really appreciate your professionalism and kindness.

Welcome Rich!
If I may be so bold, welcome to VAF! I think you are building the 2nd best RV and flying the best.  |

Welcome aboard Rich.
The generosity of the RV family has been one of the best parts of owning one. I had a similar experience when searching for the right plane for me. I love sharing my plane and one guy on our field went right out and bought one after taking a ride. Pay it forward!

Me too.
You will like the 8 even better once you get it up and going. As it will be your baby that you made and know the best. Welcome home.
Yours, R.E.A. III # 80888

Welcome Rich
I too sure wouldn't mind owning a 3. I've heard the best flyer of the line-up. Alas, I have a family I would like to take with me, so I'm building a 10.

Welcome
Welcome Rich,
I also have the same combination, a flying RV 3a and a RV 8 in the shop. Just hope the 8 flys as good as the 3.

Welcome to the world of RVs. There are a lot of RVs in Ontario. A group at Brampton, and another at St.Thomas to name a few. My strip is 1.5nm north of St.Thomas if you would like to check out a grass patch.
We have family in Huntsville and occasionally use Muskoka airport, a nice one hour flight.

Welcome. Even though, I have sold my RV-8 and no longer fly, this group is always a part of my day. RVrs are the best.
