SWRFI 2006 - who's going??

Brian130 · #1 05-04-2006, 08:07 PM

I haven't seen much forum stir on it yet, so who's going?

I figure it'll be good motivation for me to make solid progress when I get home. Considering my project stage, I think I'm going to make it a SWRDI, but that's ok - unless of course someone wants to swing by ABI on the way down and pick me up.

Err... I just searched for some different keywords, and found the poll. Disregard.

If anyone flying there in an RV (any type) If you see me wondering around your airplane asking questions
today (Friday) only day I could get off work, please
consider giving me a ride, I have been building an
rv9a two years now (I am fitting the Filtered airbox yesterday) and have never flown in an RV of any type and would love a chance to see what I have gotten myself into besides alot of hard work and frustration (I have experienced both many times over) I just want a short ride please..

I'll be there, but driving down this time. Bringing an AA 777 captain friend of mine, and another flying buddy. Should get there about noon Saturday (leaving 5am from the DFW Metroplex). We have tickets to the Mike Melville banquet Saturday night, I'm SO excited!! This will be my first EAA show.

I was there today - saw some really nice RV's! I was only able to stay a few hours - lots of schedule conflicts this weekend - but it was nice to see a few familiar faces. One thing that both me and my GIB noticed was how few composite homebuilts were there...and only one or two canards. I guess the world really is changing....

It was a gorgeous day for a fly-in. It took just 1:20 to get to Hondo froM houston, and about the same gettign back. The RV is a magic machine....
