I'm flying around with my RV8 for almost 11 month now and enjoy it every time . No matter what I do, flying alone around the block doing some aerobatics, dogfighting with the neighbors Pitts S1 or showing some friends the world from the top; it is always fun with the RV8.
This year I met two guys from an airfield close to mine, they were building a RV9A. (Sunit and Vinod)
I flew over and I helped them couple of times.
This summer they asked me if I could do some hours of flight training with the father Vinod and check him out on their RV9A.
I said of course and we put the 9A in my hangar for 2 Weeks so we had it easier to start of if the time and weather permits...
One day I was flying with Vinod and we returned to my hangar, a Dr.'s couple (he is retired and has no license she is the Pilot) who have their old C172 parked in my hangar too came and looked at the RV9A.
My first response was to tell them you should get rid of your "Wichita sheet metal surprise" and get a RV, thats more economic, faster, better looking and you have lots of space for your day trips...actually I just made jokes!
About 3-4 weeks later, the Dr. called me and asked if I had time for some minutes, I said of course and go ahead. He said, no its better if we speak face to face and he will come to my office in the hangar right now if I'm ok with it...
Uppps, something serious, did I do something wrong?
The answer is simple, I did nothing wrong they want a RV9A and asked me if they can build it in my hangar and if could assist them and guide them during the build.
The most funniest thing is, they have not even been sitting in an RV so far!
Thats speaks for the magic of the RV's
Yesterday they orderd the RV9A QB Kit!
