Or, What do you already have to complement your RV? And how do you use both airplanes?

Hey Jay, here is how I use the second plane.

Weasel,
Your Fisher looks like fun! Your airport too!
Thanks for sharing
Attaboy Mike!
I got $100 bucks to VAF saying the 3B flies before the 10
If I had the money and time to do so, I'd like to build a Just Aircraft SuperSTOL .
Ditto. Whole lot of cow pastures, sand bars, and logging roads around here.
Count me in on that. I watched it for over an hour at Oshkosh this year and thought it would be great fun to throw in camping gear and hop from strip to strip in the mountains. I still backpack but it is getting tougher each year on me physically, however I am not ready to give up going to remote places.
The Just Aircraft Company airplanes look pretty good to me.
Just aircraft in SC is about an hour and a half up I-85 from me Jay So when you come over...
Come on out Jay and we will arrange a demo flight. I guarantee you will write the check.
Someone on this forum mentioned a Just Highlander a couple of years ago as a step up from a Kitfox. Well, long story short I'm in the painting stage now, hope to be flying it this Spring. (...) I hope it will be the perfect compliment to the 7A.
I watched the demo flying in the ultralight section at OSH this year ... WOW! Would be a great compliment to an RV!
I was looking for a local fun airplane. I am currently building the Just Aircraft SuperSTOL. It will be a hoot to land most anywhere. I think it will be a great second airplane to compliment the RV10.
For me would have to be a bush airplane, so that means high wings and STOL capability as well as some load-carrying capacity. I've drooled over the Highlander (and did a test flight with Steve Henry, the dead-stick guy).
I'm thinking Kitfox, Rans S-20 or Just aircraft...
The JustAircraft is wider across than a side-by-side RV. Mostly because the doors bow out. Even better is that you can fly with the doors open. (They fold up against the bottom of the wing.) The thing I remember most about flying the Highlander was Gary pointing to a friend's front yard and saying, "I landed there." I'm looking down and thinking, "Absolutely no way! He may have landed there but probably had to fold the wings to tow it out." After spending an afternoon with him and Troy, I found out that that thing can get in and out of some places that you just would never believe! Even better is that with the side-by-side seating you have tons of room for camping gear in back.
Lots of people owning and wishing for Bush Planes, Highlanders, Kit Foxes, C170s, C180/185s. Back Country flying is the faster growing part of GA. A lot of folks are finding out about the fun and challenges of flying the 'back Country'.
Breathing a bit of life into this thread-----------
Anybody out there have experience with Kolb aircraft???
Looking for any info as to the company, quality and performance etc------and specific info on the two place side-by-side models.
third aircraft, i dumped the gyro and bought this turbine powered helicycle. it is my j3 cub, for cruising around for a little fun.
how are you liking the helicycle? does it really handle like the R22?
I've got a few hundred hours in R22/R44's, helicycles are so tempting
related to a lot of discussion in this thread (and yes I want one, too):
http://www.flyingmag.com/aircraft/experimental-aircraft-homebuilts/we-fly-just-aircraft-superstol
if you can get by with a single seat then the helicycle will be the ticket. a newer build will give you the current updates. good safety record, low maintenance, and fun to fly behind a turbine. it flys much better than a r22! love it.
this is a friends machine.
ATC: " three two Mike, traffic at 12 o'clock, 5 miles"
Ayrton: ahhhh - Dad?
I have a share in a Piper Dakota that is my "station wagon" for hauling people. I just bought a -8 to build as my "sports car".
Can't wait to get started building. Got to clean garage now......
Here is my Second Airplane. A Just Aircraft SuperSTOL. First flew Dec 17, 2014. Lucked out on the day It has a Rotax 914 Turbo and a Catto prop along with G3X in the panel and 29" bushwheels. It is covered in Stewarts and I painted it myself using a Sata gun. It is fun to have two totally different aircraft. Approach at 40mph just feels wrong!
