Airplanes

I love the look of the RVs, especially RV8.

Sorry about not flying Bob. Impressive work on those RVs. Only way I can think of justifying present day ownership is fractionalize. Which, of course, carries with it a whole slew of other issues.

I know very little about GA flying, but have been tempted to get into it lately. Especially seeing floats on an ultra light!!

Couple things are really peeking my interest. Have you seen the specs on the "carbon Cub". 17' takeoff roll - no kidding. I think it has 2100 FPM to 8-10K. for the non-licensed it is the new light sport class so you can get into aviation without the hassle.

The other interesting thing I saw is with a 5 yr tail-to-spinner warranty on purchase of a new Cirrus (which I think includes inspections). We are talking automotive-like warranty on a plane. Haven't seen this before.

I don't know how you guys scrape the time and have the patience for an airplane build. I have been sitting on a 65 mustang convertible and can't finish that thing up. A plane - I could never get that done. Nor would I trust myself in doing it.

Cheers and happy holidays,

BB
