32 of us finished the Rainbow Aviation ELSA Repairman Inspection course yesterday. The 1 day Rotax course by is today. The Expo officially starts tomorrow. However, there is a new RV-12 SLSA sitting right out side of the conference room right now.

Today was the 1 day Rotax course building on the Rotax info we got in the 2 day Repairman/Inspector course we took on Tues. and Wed. Great info! Makes me want to take the 15 day course that Rainbow offers.
Tomorrow is the 1/2 day Dynon Skyview class along with a bunch of others.

RV-12 expo
I was in the Skyview class this afternoon. Learned all the basic functions and some of the more advanced features, excellent practice. I now feel like I'll be able to operate the Skyview enough to learn all the features when I do install it. My wife and I have been enjoying our visit here at Sunriver and are looking forward to attending all the classes/discussions to come.

The folks from Synergy Air have done an outstanding job putting this Expo together. Today was very informative and valuable. This after the Rainbow Aviation folks did a great job yesterday with the Rotax class. I am looking forward to the sessions tomorrow and dinner with Van tomorrow night. I only wish I had been able to fly my plane out from Colorado. The weather today was great and tomorrow looks to be good as well.

Ditto on the job Walley has done (Synergy Air) and his staff! Have meant many of the cool group (RV-12 builders/owners)... Got to fly 2 hours....what a cool airplane...first air time in 40years. Absolutely an easy craft to fly....Van's..you the man.

My wife got her 1st ride in an RV12 today and really enjoyed it. Lots of seminars and workshops with good info. The only problem is they run 2 workshops at a time making it impossible to attend them all.
We live in the Bremerton area of Wash. west of Seattle. Looking for a partner or partners interested in building, flying, and owning an RV-12.

The Expo is over, and today was another day of seminars and workshops. This was the first RV-12 Expo and there were 150 registered guests.
The workshops were very informative - information overload!!!
I think I am convinced to build one.

Parked just outside the Expo meeting rooms... a factory fresh RV-12
Rumor only... but I did overhear that Synergy Air is preparing to manufacture 100 Factory RV-12s next year. Judging from the interest I saw at the Expo, it may not be enough to meet the demand!
Thanks to the Synergy team for allowing Eagle's Nest Projects an opportunity to be a small part of this outstanding event!
