Hey....Uh,...I'm new here. I am buying an RV-3 and have a bit of concern over my first flight in it. I am a tail wheel guy from day 1...learned in Citabrias, fly the Decathlon, some Pitts time....I can handle the RV I'm sure.
But this community is deep in knowledge and I thought I would reach out for some tips, guidance, gospel and "whatever you do, don't....", ...that kinda stuff.
I have looked at log books and inspected the plane, it is having a few things done to it before I take possession, so I have a couple weeks. My insurance carrier is asking for a sign off with a CFI in an RV-4 which I am trying to put together. But in all the plane docs, I don't find any kind of POH or other which gives procedures, approach speed, climb out, performance and such. I have the weight and balance data which is good, but heck...with 1 seat and limited space its hard to screw that part up.
SO any links, tips, or if anyone in the SF Bay Area has an RV-4 that you want to share some hobbs time in, I'd love to get as much info and experience as possible before I solo the RV-3.
Cheers
Dave
