C-GURV was first flown on November 4, 2004 after 1600 hours and 5 1/2 years of effort. Is one of the older slow build kits, so only the skins were pre-punched, although this in itself saved a LOT of work.
It is a pretty standard airplane, nothing fancy in the way it was built nor equipped. Since it was my first airplane, I didn't want to get too exotic or too far from Van's plans.
As far as doodads are concerned:
We love the airplane, and are looking forward to getting around North America in it over the coming years.

We just started using the plane for cross-country. We live just outside Ottawa, Ontario and have travelled to Halifax, Nova Scotia (one tank of fuel and 3.5 hours) and Oshkosh (4 hours, with stops for Customs).Catto FP 3 Bladed Prop
