Default Flew in an RV!

Hugh "McFly" was kind enough to give me a ride last week and show me a little of the building process. Well I can say I am pretty much hooked! What a beautiful looking and flying airplane. Now all I need is a job when I move back to San Jose to finance my building.

Thanks again Hugh!

They are actually Fisherman Eyewear.

Best glasses I have found for the price(around $50)

Lenses are just awesome, very durable plus they are very comfortable.

They are polarized so might not be the best for flying, but are just amazing for fishing.

Hi Kevin,
