Default Nice plane!

Congratulations on your purchase. Looks great!

I recommend you check the AN5 bolt that secures the nose strut into the engine mount. If it fails this can happen.



I'm the 3rd owner with no regrets, although I'm still working the repairs to resume flying.

Carl

Randall, I hear you. My thoughts are similar to you. However, I am lucky for now that I have the Cherokee and can fly it while the RV is down. My issue is that glass panel avionics are too quickly evolving to know exactly what I want at this time. I will probably just fly the plane as is for a while

Carl, sorry to see that picture! I was unaware of the AN5 issue. First thing to check when I bring her home

Manny, that would be great. I take the 417 south to the 408 so I am very close to SFB. I'll PM you my contact info.

Very nice paint scheme. It will get noticed on the hamburger runs....
Good purchase. Panel just gives you projects for the future...

Holy cow!!! I thought someone had broken into our hangar and stolen our plane. I know you will enjoy flying yours as much as we have ours. I'm sure we'll meet at some time at a fly in. Paint scheme is hard to beat.

Default Congrats Manny !!!

Great to see another RV join the KSFB RV airforce. Nice looking airplane, I'm sure you'll love flying it.
If you're ready, a couple of us are heading to Triple Tree this Friday. Might as well join us. Let us know if there's anything you need.
See you out there...

Thanks Curt. I would have loved to Join Tripple Tree but heading to Europe. Will not be around- not even to enjoy looking at the RV. I can't wait to soar with you eagles. You guys will no longer have to wait for me. See you soon.
