Chance to fly in a RV?
Hello..
I am looking for a opportunity to fly in a RV 6 / 7 / 8, preferably of the tail wheel kind. Obviously, I would pay for any associated costs and your time. Basically, trying to figure out which model would best suit my needs for potential purchase. Any ideas or points of contact would be greatly appreciated. I am local to Orlando area (Apopka), but if some travel is required that wouldn't be an issue.
PM or bladeflex at yahoo.com
Thanks in advance,
Patrick

Hello Patrick,
Sorry I can't help with the ride as I am still a few weeks from completion. There are a few RV's at the Apopka airport if you go by on a Saturday. Most RV'ers are very friendly and helpful and it could be easy to get a ride.
Also don't miss the Love's Landing fly-in next month. There will probably be over 50-80 local RV's in attendence.
