A date with Maddy - part 1 - Page 2

Thanks for the positive feedback fellas

And Lorne I'll for sure give you a ring next time I'm in the neighbourhood.

There are thousands of similar RV flying stories out there, we just need to spend the hour, write it up and post the picts. I enjoy it and it serves as not only a great memento but as a great motivator to those still building.

If the plane wasn't so fun to fly I likely wouldn't fly as much as I do. I've only been flying for a little over two years so the depth of my experience is very shallow, but no other aircraft, that I know of, has as much to offer as the RV's.

Sure I'm majorly biased, but what other plane can you maintain yourself, cruise at 155 knots Ground Speed, enter an Aerobatic Contest with, land on a short grass strip and has such tremendous online support ?

Maybe it's out there, but I haven't found it yet.

But alas, I preach to the converted

Now that is just one beautiful young gal....She must take after her mother....oh ya, sorry, the pilot is very handsome also!!!!!

Loved the story of your great adventure with your daughter. Didn't you just love every minute of it.

Thanks for sharing this Darren, it's very inspirational - something that Maddy will fondly remember when she's in the left seat of a 787.

Hi Darren,

Very nice story and your daughter's big RV grin during flight tells it all. Very motivating for us still building, thank you.

I'd like to ask you if you could describe your paint job. I'm still trying to find a paint scheme, but I sure will have some dark purple and yours is very close to what I'm looking for.

Thanks
