What did you do with your RV this weekend? (4/16-17/2022)

Canopy fiberglass prep

Prepping for canopy fiberglassing. NEver thought Hobby Lobby would know me on a first name basis. They had the fiberglass black tint, seat fabric, etc. who would of thought they too had an aviation aisle

The tape shows were the fiberglass will be. After the photo was taken, i decided to make the overhead bow narrower

Not as much as I wanted to...

My airplane is ready to fly and the weather was great Saturday morning, but I wasn't prepared for first flight duties and my crew wasn't available. So the airplane sat in the hangar, waiting patiently for her turn while I took photos of Leo's RV-10 Windwalker in the pattern at PTK.

2,600 Miles to Sun n' Fun

Flew to and from Sun n' Fun. Along the way was able to give rides to several nieces, nephews, cousins and in-laws; watched a rocket launch at Space Coast Regional; diverted because of thunderstorms in Mississipi; flew over KNEN which has aircraft carrier sized landing markings on either end for Navy pilots to practice carrier landings on land(?); and of course saw a great airshow.


p.s. Thanks to Randy Richmond (52F) for keeping OMG in tiptop flying condition!
