Great plane!
Russ,
Great plane and great time flying with you. So cool to see the older stuff working so well. It's been too long, we need to do it again.

Hi Jason,
We had fun too, I agree, need to again some time soon, on that note I saw you sold your old -6. How is the new 7 coming along?

RV History
Nice plane and very nice story! I would like to see more pics and details of the Cobra Ball. Interesting cowling, landing light, rudder, etc.

Wonderful Story
Oh Wow, that really is a great story Russ. I fell in LOVE with them after reading an article by Chuck Berthe and looking at the photos. I understand how you got hooked.
Titanium gear legs, oh man, I'm drooling.  It's obvious it gets plenty of TLC.
Cheers,

Thanks Guys! I'll take some more photos next time I get to the airport, including some of the lift spoilers!

Russ gave me a ride in this RV-4 to pick up my stranded RV-4 in California. It's a great bird!

I saw Lee's plane at Oshkosh in 1983, and that particular plane caused me to reconsider building a Q2. I talked to Van that day and bought an RV4 tail kit on the spot. I do remember the spoilers, and there was something written on the aft side of them when they were up. I also remember Lee saying they weren't very effective. Glad the plane is still flying!

Cobra Ball???
Hi Russ,
I'm very curious about your moniker, "Cobra Ball". I think there is a story there?? And what an emblem, I LIKE IT!!
Please tell.
Cheers,

Russ,
Yes, the old -6 has a new home, actually it's in Oregon now. Business was very slow for the end of last year. Things are looking good for this year I expect to get the -7 done in 13. Look forward to meeting up with you again for some flying adventures.
