As a new pilot, and even newer RV owner, I desire knowledgable, authorized, and capable personnel to ensure my aircraft is safe. There is NO question that experience with van's aircraft is necessary in order to understand the nuances. I am in the unfortunate position in that I gained a love for aviation later in life (40) and didn't build my aircraft myself. However, I am fortunate to have the ability to fly a product with exceptional quality and attention to detail. I am very conscious of the maintenance involved but feel the need to learn what I can from an experienced mechanic to "step up my game " every chance I get, hence reaching out on VAF.
I appreciate any leads for my condition inspection, and general maintenance issues that might exceed my abilities.
