Who woulda thunk it?

Just passed his checkride in his own-build RV-7A. Knew nothing about aviation when he started and had 0 hours in anything else but, not knowing anything about airplanes, bought it, built it, trained in it and now.. is a pilot!

Good show, Ken.

That's the way to do it - start at the top!

Congratulations for sure! In my opinion, the true spirit of EAA and grass roots aviation. I have several friends who taught themselves to fly in the ultralights they built. Another one bought a Cessna 120 and taught himself to fly it......I know, I know, that's not legal but he did it, just like Orville and Wilbur,

I am doing the same thing. It's nice to know someone else had the same dream.

Congrats Ken... We need to talk!

Ken,

Good job. I knew you could get er done. Now I need to get my 7A done so we can 2 ship. 45 degrees and 1 mile is what I am use to. That should be fine till we get used to it and fly with or scare Doug up at 3TO. Hope to see you at OSH and will buy you a cold one for your accomplishment.

Congratulations!

Talk about spoiled, learning to fly in an RV will just about ruin him from flying anyting else.
