My name is Chris Watson. I've been lurking here while shopping for an RV-4. I saw several helpful posts by SmokyRay and contacted him to help me find a healthy, flying RV-4. He did an awesome job finding just the right airplane for me, working the deal with the seller, conducting the pre-buy (he's an A&P) and then Smoky "Iron Man" Ray flew the thing all the way to San Antonio from Virginia in one day straight into the teeth of a strong headwind.
I flew it Wednesday morning with a local RV CFI for my insurance checkout and then I took it out on my own this Saturday hitting all my usual weekend flying spots. The crew of RV owners/builders I fly with were very impressed with her. She was the star attraction everywhere today.
If you are new to RV's (or even if you're not) I can whole-heartedly recommend Smoky's services.
Beautiful warbird paintjob after a 2 year restoration. It has an O-320 160hp with c/s prop. She really jumps into the air!
We started the morning with the Saturday breakfast run to New Braunfels
A purchased "RV Grin" is still a grin!
