Hi ya'll,
I'm still loving flying my RV-7A. But I'm getting the 'building' bug again. The last time this happened my wife talked me into paragliding rather than building something else right away. That turned out great (I highly recommend it, even over gliders), but I still have the building bug.
Most of my RV flying has turned out to be gentleman's acro - this surprises me because I thought I was building this mostly for long distance cruising. But acro turns out to be way more fun than I expected - and I still have lots to learn with my RV.
Now I keep thinking about my next project (mostly for weekday evenings) and I hope ya'll have some leads for me:
* Does anyone make an aluminum airplane kit that is like an Extra lite? Preferably with two seats.
* Are there any good/funky electric car kits?
* If all else fails, I'll probably start on a slloooww build RV-8. I really dig my 7, but I wouldn't want to build something that is identical. This time I'd definitely go full inverted, but I'm kinda bummed that the airfoil doesn't seem really ideal if I get even more into acro.
