Hi everyone.
I see and read about the many RV's with varous types of nav, landing, and strobe systems installed. But I have also read that many don't fly at night because they feel it is too dangerous. But then again, there are some night flyers amongst us. I hear Team RV is doing a twilight show. (which is awesome)
My RV-6A is set up for night flight but rarely will I fly a twilight/early night flight. And only then with some good moonlight and clear sky's over familiar ground.
I know this is about your individual comfort and ability, but just wondering how many of you fly your RV's at night?
If your night flying is in the company plane, this does not count for this poll. I am asking specifically about RV's here as they are fast, single engine, maneuverable planes which pose unique risks or opportunities.
