I've been thinking about doing this for, oh, 10 years now, and via one excuse or another it's always been pushed off...
I was at a family re-union yesterday, and met Joe Lofton who was showing off his RV-3 in his hangar / workshop on the family property there. Anyway, I mentioned I had been thinking about an RV-9 lately. He smiled knowingly, pointed to the workbench, and said "That's the fuel tank for an RV-9 right there."
I proceeded to grill Joe about his project; he was quite patient with me.
I took this meeting as a *sign* (if you believe in such things) that I just needed to stop making excuses and go for it.
Preview plans ordered today. I hope to have the tail kit ordered next week.
And I guess along the way, I'll have to learn how to fly.
