Lets start it off with the idea that i am one of the rare young pilots. My dad and I began building our first plane in 1998. It was completed in 2002. In February of 2006, we began work on an RV-7 with the desire for speed. Our first plane cruised at 85kts. We completed the -7 in December '09 and reached 100 on the hobbes today.
I have been flying (with controls quite often) since i was 9. I am now 16 and consider myself to be spoiled in aviation terms. Today, my dad and I decided to go for a flight around the puget sound (we are based out of Arlington). We took off and went south for some aerial photography of Mt. Rainier. Then it was back North for some flights above the san juan islands at 1500'. Back into land at Arlington following the Blackjack squadron, the local group of RV formation pilots, all in about an hour.
I just began ground school and will be starting official lessons in September. I realize that i have an amazing opportunity and will never forget the good times my dad and i have spent together because of our planes.
Here are some pics of the flight--- ( the shot of the plane on the ground was earlier this summer)
We are flying back to oshkosh in a week or two so ill put up those pics when we get home
