Ok...I have been bit by the RV bug and the doc is insisting I get a ride soon before I die.
I WILL be buying a flying RV between January and late spring. I want to get near, around, in and up on as many RVs as I can so I can make an informed decision/purchase. My focus is on the RV-6A mainly because it has side-by-side seating, is good for light aerobatics unlike the RV9 and I figure the 6 would be a bit lower price compared to the 7. I want the "A" model because at this point I am not sure I could handle the tailwheel. I also am leaning toward a fixed pitch prop but I am warming up to the idea of a variable pitch. (Can you tell I am a low time pilot?)
There will be many decisions to be made before purchase, some of which I am probably not even aware of right now.
I am 2 miles from Cross keys (17N) airport in Southern NJ. I can fly or drive to meet anybody generous enough to teach me, show me, or fly me around in their RV. If you even THINK there is a chance you could take me up please email me ([email protected]) or call me at 856-625-6194. I am a controller at ACY and might be able to pass on some knowledge to you as well.
TIA,
Tony
