Whenever my RV pal's wives are around, I can sense that they are staring at all
of that throbbing horsepower that's stuffed into my plane. ;-)

****************************************************************************************
Everybody,
Over the last couple of days, there has been a thread on the
SoCal RV-List about the old question Fixed or Constant Speed Prop. Of
course, the answers depend on the viewpoint of the answerer. Anyway, one
guy wrote that the aircraft with bigger engines and more horsepower are
"Chick Magnets." I think I have some proof.
The other day I got an Email from a young lady who had built a
RV-4. She wanted to see what all the talk was about. So, she flew her RV
up to Apple Valley. I knew things were going to be good when I watched her
come into the pattern. She needed to maneuver to avoid some traffic and I
watched her plane quickly roll into a 60-80 degree bank and smartly turn to
downwind. Looks like she knows how to fly her plane, i.e., no sissy 30
degree bank turns. We jumped into the Rocket and did some light acro and
just got the feel for the plane. I think she liked the ride and the rocket.
She must have read my web page too, as she asked for low and fast. I think
she like that too.
Back into the pattern, I got very lucky. I am showing off so I wanted the
landing to be good. As luck would have it, I did one of those landings
where you know you are down when you hear the wheels start rolling. I saved
my bouncers for when people aren't watching.
So mark up another great day at the airport. Days like this are
not deduced from your life span.

Vince,
Us RV-4 pilots know that you Rocket pilots (and that includes Gummi
Bear) are really just trying to compensate for smaller appendages....

Gummi Bear,
You got me man, I sit corrected. When I stop rollin' this Navion
through the skies and get back to riding my 4 I'll swing by APV. You are
always welcome to stop in @ C80, I'll feed ya' and show ya' a good time (if
my spouse likes you, you can even spend the night).

Greetings Fellas,
Don't know many of you but, 34,000 lbs of thrust (not horsepower, F-16 guy)
ain't jack! Try 30,200lbs of thrust .... per side, Baby. That's right! ....

Fly safe, all,

I can't help myself. How about 226,800 lbs of thrust! It ain't only the
thrust that counts, it's the size that matters most - just ask her!
