Maybe someone can suggest an idea?
For years I have wanted to build a Vans plane. We went to about 4 airshows a year selling hangars. Unbelievable fun! I finally settled on the 14A. Took a test fly at Oshkosh and was sold.
It took 4 years for my neighbor Dan and I to build the RV14. What a blast! I would build another one.
During this time I have been flying with instructors and taking the written 3 times now because they are only good for 2 years. I have over 160 hour. And I had a check ride scheduled for April 9th 2020. And of course it was cancelled because of Covid.
Now after all this time has passed I feel like I have lost it all. I can fly OK in 172's but I still need more time in the RV to master it. Big difference!
I have all the hours, current medical, written...
I think the best thing for me is to go to a place away from work and home and camp out till I pass. And it would be best if it where an uncontrolled, the radio is the hardest part for me.
Would anyone have an idea of where to go and who would have such a service? I know I would be a bad student but I would keep at it till I get the ticket.
Building the plane (that now has about 50 hours on it) was easier then getting a licence. At this point it seems to be a huge mountain to climb. But can't wait to fly in and land on the colored dot.
I'm grateful for VAF!!
Thanks, Larry
