Default One Year Later

One year ago at LOE I decided to build an RV-7 -- I'd been building up to it for months/years. Saturday night, after the raffle I didn't win , I found a tailkit for sale in Phoenix on VAF and arranged to buy it that night and pick it up the following week.

One year later my empennage hangs from the rafters of my garage, my wings are almost done, and my fuselage kit is inventoried and scattered about the garage.

I'm looking forward to another LOE - lots more questions this time, perhaps a more educated eye as to what to look for. Close to an engine decision and beginning to think about avionics. Shooting to be flying it by next LOE.

Looking forward to seeing all of you. Dan C, especially looking forward to seeing you again as you were one of my instructors last December in Corona at the SportAir workshop.

George

It'll probably be a quickie for me. I'll at least be there on Saturday for the large formation that Stu McCurdy is putting together.

George, it's nice to hear you're making good progress. Keep it up!

If you are interested we can coordinate a more definite arrival time.

Default LOE

I'm planning to arrive there Saturday and stay overnight. I have a reservation at the La Quinta (Baymont), and will be looking to bum a ride to the hotel.
I will be flying a T-28C Trojan, kinda like a really huge RV-8A. I'll be flying in from Steamboat Springs, CO and going on to Boca Raton, FL so maybe I'll qualify for distance. Look forward to meeting all of you!

Since I live just a quick 1.2 hrs north in Los Lunas, I'm gonna try for a down and back on Saturday. Might come down in a four ship with Larry Miller (-4), Dave Mattison (-6) and Brian Musson (-6a).

Meanwhile, wx check today in the greater Albuquerque/Rio Grande valley area is scuddy and drippy. Go figure. The Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta just started. We've had weeks of sunny skies, then the balloons show up and drag the yuck with them. At least they have highly skilled "pilots" flying them. *choke, chortle, guffaw*

Carol and I are planning to come. Leaving Thursday and overnighting in Texarkana, and then through Big Spring and into LOE on Friday, weather permitting. The forecast keeps changing (gee, what a surprise!). This is the best RV fly in anywhere, and is certainly for a good cause.
