I thought buying the hanger before the plane was backwards, but I did this anyways. However when I looked up on Van's website for an instructor they are only teaching people who already have an RV which is almost worse.
I would love to meet someone who can introduce me to these wonderful planes I have dreamed about most of my life.
Quick introduction to myself. I fly sailplanes out of Minden, NV (MEV). I have no need for a plane or a mission it would fulfill. I just always thought when I retired I would build an RV. However now I can actually afford one it seems buying a flying one makes more sense.
The member listings show many people at Carson, Dayton, Reno, and even one in Gardnerville (Minden) and one in Incline. If any of you have your ears on and feel inclined to talk, post or send a PM.
I would love to read from anyone what questions to ask of sellers or instructors.
Buying a hanger, then the plane, then learning to fly it seemed backwards at first, but maybe this is how it is done?
thanks
