Jeff Dingbaum’s “no surprises” RV-14A joins the flying fleet of RVs after nearly a decade of “family first” building. Here’s the story: The first flight of N3299A was a long time coming, over 9 years. Life and family came first and sometimes a successful work session was a rivet or two. Thanks...

Congrats Jeff, that's awesome!

BTW, back when we lived in Cedar Rapids, my wife and I would sometimes fly the -8A over to Lake in the Hills and walk ~1/2 mile north up to Nick's Pizza & Pub for a dinner date. Good times...

Fly safe!
