Default

I started looking for a aircraft last July. I wanted a reasonable cross country aircraft with good speed that could also do mild acro. Low cost was a consideration. In the end there was really only one choice. I looked at other options but kept coming back to the RV series and now own a RV6 I am very happy with. There simply was no other suitable choice. I do covet a RV8 however and perhaps one day will make the switch!!!

Default They will have to pry my 6 out of my cold dead hands!

Just returned from golf adventure in St. George, the highlight of which was the flight over the Grand Canyon, more to follow when I get time to post the pics. Amazing. I left the Airpark near Portland and was riding with my buddy in the Utah/AZ/NV desert early that same afternoon. Next morning, all VFR corridors in the Canyon and a Zion fly over in about two hours, all before the golf even started.

In fairness, stick forces and response of my Bucker is almost as good, and it is a lot of fun for all the right reasons an open cockpit biplane should be, but the 6 is simply an amazing airplane.

Default Dreaming is for free ...

The only two seater I would consider (dreaming) other than the RV 9A is the Lancair Legacy 2000 RG !
