I'm New Here
Hi fellow RV owners and enthusiasts. I am Logan Schmidt and my grandfather just purchased a used RV6A for me!![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)

That is what it looked like 2 months ago it is almost done being refurbished and rebuilt! A few things that have been addressed (that I know of):
- Replaced Wooded Prop
- Tail damage fixed
- Nose Gear Replaced and fixed
- New seat cushion (was missing)
- Engine checked by certified RV mechanic for internal damage due to the PROP STRIKE![Eek! :eek: :eek:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
The plane dug into the grass (as seen in one of the photos on the salvage site) and the plane flipped and had a low-RPM prop strike
A few more things need to be looked at and fixed but overall the progress is coming along great! But why am I posting? Well...
When I get my RV or even before it... is there ANYTHING I should know? Do you RV guys have any tips for any RV's, or specifically my RV6A?
ANYTHING that may be helpful to a new RV owner like myself POST BELOW!
Thanks,
Logan Schmidt![Cool :cool: :cool:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
ADDED MORE INFORMATION: (In Blue)
I am 16, turning 17 in December, my grandpa lives in MO, I live in WI. I have flown 14.6 hours, and have 50 landings (as of July 7th 2010) I have flown ONLY PA28151 and PA28161 . Some Piper Warriors... Nothin big but something to get me into flying. I flew in my grandpas plane ever since I was 3. At age 5, 7 , 13 and I haven't been down since. I am headed down to see my RV and for a family vacation end of July. (they thinks its for the family vacation, na only really for the RV!) I have done all the private pilots flying lessons except cross-country, night flying, and more soloing. I am in a private pilot ground school and I also take the King Air private pilot PC course (although its from the 1990's). Information (for the most part) doesn't change, it grows. I am hopefully flying down with Tony (my flight instructor) (on the forum he is: apkp777) I will edit in more information if you can come up with anything I left "out". Other wise POST ANY information that may help me (a new RV6A pilot) from falling out of the sky!
As always,
Thanks,
Logan
