New-B saying hello

[Sleek-Jet]

Just wanted to post a quick hello and explain my user name... It comes from a boating forum I started posting on years ago, and I just keep the same name as I go along. It actually has nothing to do with airplanes. (FYI, I owned a Sleek-Craft Jet boat... hence... Sleek-Jet)

Anyway, I've been pondering an RV-10 and thought I would check out the forums. I've found myself without any projects, and without an airplane, so hopefully the two shall meet.

A little back-ground on myself. Multi-engine, Commercial instrument, with about 1000 hrs. Avionics tech by training and worked "in the industry" for a few years before going to work for an electric utility. I co-owned a '59 182 for several years and rented a Turbo Viking exclusivly for a while as well. I currently reside in Southern AZ.

Nice looking board here, and I look forward to talking with everyone.

For the money, the RV-10 has to be the best 4 place anywhere. Good luck,

Roberta

Quite a bit actually. I used to always have 2 people going with me in the 182 and Viking. So a 4 place, while not always necessary, is something I will use.
