You are planning on going, right?

Congrats again, Al!

Now we need to get Billy licensed too!

Well, I've had my PPL for a while, but does starting my RV-10 without every riding in an RV count? I'm almost done with my instrument ticket with hopes that it will help me get insurance for the -10 when I finish it. Two more years and hopefully my -10 will fly. Although I've been saying that since 2003... Congrats on earning your PPL.

Al,

You're not the only one! I've been working on my RV-7A for about 6 years now, and I don't have my PPL yet either. I'm nearing the finish line, though, so I hope to start flying lessons this spring. It would be great to finish it about the time my RV is ready to fly.

I took FAA ground school in college, but that was many years ago. At the time, as a student with no income I couldn't afford to fly. But I've wanted my own airplane my entire life, and the RV was the answer. Can't wait!

Congrats! As a recent recipient of a Private Pilot certificate I know EXACTLY how you feel. I remember being on quite a high of emotion that day.

On your boat! You timed it very well Al. I will come with full fuel for you to get some loggable stick time. Your insurance man would love to see extra hours in 9.

Looking forward to seeing you and your plane in the air soon!!!
