That is the question are all RVr's this nice?
I am new to the forums and have been lurking for a few months. I have asked a few questions and received answers loaded with experience and wisdom. Then I spot a thread where the author is flying to Bermuda Dunes. Now I live less than 2 miles from Bermuda Dunes and he is flying his RV-7A. I am interested in the 7 model and would like a close up view. So I contact the pilot and his response is " look...Oh no I'll take you up and give you a real hands on up close and personal look at the 7." I am not really wanting to take up too much of his time, and do not desire to have him burn his fuel to show me, so I respond with I just want to look. He insists that I go up with him to get a real experience of the 7 to determine it will be the correct plane for me. The point of this is he took me up for an hour flight, gave me the controls, allowed me to really fly the plane and then laughed when I didnt want to yank and bank. You cant hurt it, and Im ready, so go for it, was the response. After the flight I invited him and his brother to breakfast. I offer to at least pay for breakfast and he refused. At the end of the time he spent over 3 hours giving his experience, asking what my mission was, and really digging into which plane was best for me. Long story short, It is not the first time an RV pilot has gone out of their way to reach out and bring a new guy into the fold. The answer is a resounding "YES"
So a BIG THANK YOU, to Nick RV 7A N720RV
