Calling all Kiwis

[drill_and_buck]

Last year I moved to Auckland and will be here for the better part of 2020.

I have had the good fortune of finishing my RV-8 in 2011 and flying it for ~ 1,000 hours. Here is a link to my 5 year pirep.

I would welcome the opportunity to connect with other NZ RV builders to share RV building, flying and maintenance experiences.

Drop me note if you are building, thinking about building or flying an RV. Always happy to chat about RVs.

Cheers,
Mike

Thanks Mark. I usually get to Sydney about every 2-3 months. I?ll let you know next time I?m in town. When I was building I was in contact with an RV-8 builder in Bankstown. However I ended up loosing his contact information.
Cheers,
Mike

Gidday Mike, welcome to GodZone

There's a few of us at North Shore Airport, just north of Auckland, with a mix of RV7's, 8s and 9's and we're always keen to share stories.
