What did you do with your RV this weekend? Getting this weekend’s thread started, and looking forward to reading what you got to do.

PS: I wouldn't expect a lot of flying Sunday morning in the N.TX area LOL. This at 0724 local.

Yesterday I practiced some OSH 27 righthand patterns with downwind legs 3000 feet out, found it real tight. Rewatched a video where they did downwind far side of the gravel pit, seems to be easier.

I might have to be slow turning downwind if they are flying tight patterns...

Quick hop up to KTVL Lake Tahoe, CA in the morning. High DA ops was fun. Peaked at 14000 after departing. The field was 9500

Sooner later, all those beautiful wooden crates that held the RV-15 kits have to be broken down (we’ve got plenty of shelves made from previous crates, thank-you…..). Vans clearly loves staples - Lots and lots and lots of staples. This has to be more hazardous that test flying!!
