Hi Bruno, I'm a new RV7 owner too, and I'm also trying out using this forum to begin communicating with other RV owners. Contrats on your new flying machine! Are you looking for landing tips? Have you taken any instruction flying your RV? I didn't take any instruction, however I've got allot of tailwheel time, and find the RV very straight forward to fly. My RV has a Sam James cowling, and am presently running pretty hot oil temps, what is your average temp running in climb, and cruise? I live on a private airstrip in northern Ca. called Alta Sierra, ever heard of it? I hope you respond to this so I know that this forum works. Talk to you later! skycloudster (Mike)
