Default Young RV Grin

A little late, but this is my youngest after his first ride in the -6. He loved every minute of it.

How about a cushion to get him up a bit. I like to see them at the same height as I am. Better view means a better flight.

Default My new copilot

He can't quite reach the rudder pedals yet but it looks like my first grandchild (6 months old) is ready to fly.

okay Jake, that has to be one of the cleanest panel & interiors I've ever seen!

thanks for the link to your photobucket album! drool drool!

...and what's with the cut-out of the top longeron? it looks pretty far forward, but it must be for shoulder/arm room, right? Did you beef this up?
how did you do the nice blend; most guys just seem to hack it out!

hope you are enjoying your masterpiece!

P.S. what were the 'must haves' on your Snap-On tool list? Need a pirep on the borescope if you've ever used one!
