Average Age of RV Builders

[Jaypratt]

1965 July 15th, started building at 49, flew the RV6 at 52. 18 month build. Sold a Cheorkee Six 300 to buy the engine prop and finish kit. I kept flying during the build, when the Cheorkee Six went, I had the use of a Cessna 172.

Life started over for me after flying the RV. Building is a solo endevor, Flying has become a social thing. Many new friends over the years. All good. 63 now. 2200+ RV hours

Dave Ramsey says all toys should be paid for in cash, and cash flowed with any surplus income, i'm selling off toys in my garage (motorcycles, guns, etc) to purchase the major parts, the engine, i'll figure out down the road

might have to bag me a cougar and get her to pay for my lycoming
