Got my first RV ride today!

Post by tmbg »

I was already pretty much committed, afterall, tools and preview plans have been purchased, but now there's no doubt about it. Got to ride in Kyle Boatright's beautiful RV-6, and I'm not only convinced that the RV-7 was a right choice, but now I'm even thinking about dropping that pesky "A" off the end.

I'm starting to feel like I might resemble one of them mechanical jobbies that sits on a barn roof... :D

Now there's somebody that has been reading a lot of previous posts, welcome Ian. I was at the same stage when I got my first ride, I had my tools, preview plans, but no emp, just the practice kits.

Ian, I got my first ride after getting started on the tail kit. IT is a real motivator. Any of the RV's are nice airplanes, with or without the A. :wink:
