I'm New Here
After finally getting my license and planning on an RV in my future, yesterday my wife dropped a bombshell! She said that she has tried to be a sport about my flying, but thought she ought to tell me that she is not comfortable and feeling very claustrophobic and not having a good time. We have been flying a Diamond Star DA40 with the tip up canopy, but the tipup on the Diamond is painted giving a hardtop feeling. My hope was to find a tip up 6,7 or 9 thinking that the vision outward would eliminate her claustrophobia. She is not a meek lady, she loves to ride in our 1912 Speedster, no windshield, no roof, not much in the way of brakes. She does remind me to slow down when we are going 50!
OK, anyone with a tip up willing to give her a little ride to see if she will feel comfortable in an RV??? We are in San Dimas, just a throw from KPOC.
I'll be happy to spring for fuel....
to show you what kind of a sport she is, check her out at about the 26sec point in the video ! ! no, that's not a burka, she has no windshield!
and to some of you, I've had her for 40 years, no I can't afford a replacement...
