I envy some of you RVer's. You have lots of local expertise and different RV to visit. I know a couple local RV owners around here RV-6A, -6, -4, but no -7's and no IO-360's. "yakdriver" from Idaho has been a great info source building his RV-7 but I don't want to bother him everyday and I would like more data points to ponder. I tried the search function, but didn't find what I was looking for or even what questions to ask...SO, I'll pose this request to the wealth of knowledge known as VAF.
Our skypark sale is closing May 1st, so will have funds available to order a QB. 3 month leadtime so need to order soon. What do I order? on the surface this seems easy, but! I am planning a ordering Fuse, wings and finish kit and having Partain Tansport deliver it. What should I be thinking about when placing the order?
I am thinking QB -7, night VFR. IO-360 parallel valve, C/S. I don't know what engine to specify to get the right mount or smooth cowl.
auto pilot? only used 1 for heading hold, so I don't even know what I want or need. I am a fair weather pilot, so IMC/IFR won't be a concern. Heading hold may be nice. What's a simple answer?
Lights, strobes? I don't normally fly at night, but having lights would be nice just in case. I like the wingtip setups, also thinking LED position. Is there a LED Tail light?
AAAaaaagh, my head is going to explode!
I'm a lowtime, low aviation knowledge PPL in rural Montana, so excuse my ignorance.
