Not quite building it for myself
I'm building the RV-12 for my own entertainment, but to be flown by my favorite wife/ultimate autopilot, Haruko. It's registration number, N73HR, is, however, flexible--it could stand for her name, Haruko Reese, or, if I ever learn to fly, for both of us, Haruko & Rob.
I took some ribbing at an EAA chapter meeting by a tech counselor/CFI/CFII/CF*everthing about me needed to learn to fly. I retorted with "I would, but its just too difficult to locate a competent flight instructor!".
Eat yer hearts out, dudes! My wife WANTS me to build this thing.
