There is no kollsman window. It is set before takeoff by setting the altitude to the needle. It reads 5600 ft.

Awsome!
One of my all time favorite airplanes. Thanks for saving some great aviation history. When I was a kid hanging around the old airport in northern Illinois The old timers all raved about the monocoupe. There used to be a real early one hanging up in the terminal building in Moline.

My other plane is my family Christen Eagle II. Dad and I built it (well he did and held the tools) in the 80's. Had the honor of flying it at OSH on Monday of the airshow as a demo fly-by with 3 other eagles in 2017 for the 40th Anniversary of the Christen Eagle

My wife and I have discussed (and it was her that first brought it up!) trying to find a four way partnership or something on a four-seater, probably an RV-10 or a Velocity or something good for traveling, once my -7 is done. I don't think we'll ever have the means to own a second airplane outright unless it's super cheap.

When I lived in Charlotte, some of us were talking about building an RV-10 and sharing it.
We thought ten people would work out well. The one rule we would have is each member MUST own a two seat RV for it to work out. We did not want the -10 to become the primary plane for one member and thought everyone would rather fly their two seater before jumping in the Family Sedan.

That is a good idea. With the split costs, it will probably be cheaper than a flying club, depending on how often you fly. The downside, family trips are almost always on the weekend. There would be a lot of scheduling conflicts I think.
