Well after 5 years of building and no airplane to call my own, I am once again a Pilot. and an aircraft owner My flight training began last April, flying with Joe Gauthier in a Piper Super Cub. It was pretty ugly at first, but we got it. Then came some transition training in some local RV's- Dave Pepe's RV-6. Andy's RV-7. I am forever grateful.
I built pretty much to plans, getting the engine/prop from Vans. Lots of challenges, a few funks, came close to selling out twice. Boy am I glad I didn't!!
I now have about 22 hours in her, and she is one fine flying machine. I love this plane!
