Hi Les,

Speaking of the RV-4, my farther was also the first to bring one of
those into GB, some 14-15 years ago, its registered G-BROP and was
purchased over in Bakersfield and i think was actually one of the
prototypes ! That one he bought complete, crated it and shipped it over
and stuck it back together. In fact the CAA/PFA gave it a temporary
aproval and forgot about it and he flew it for a year or so before they
realized it hadn't been properly approved so the official test flight
was a year late !
He was also instrumental in getting a mod done to the engine mount/leg
fixings as he landed on a rough farm strip one day with a friend, had
dinner and took off again, including a victory roll out of the strip. It
was only when he landed home and got out and saw the plane was slouching
to one side, took off the cowls, found out what was wrong and realized
how lucky he had been !
cya,
Lee

Sorry, this has nearly nothing to do with rockets, other than that one
of my "friends" sent me a copy of my website "translated" into
ebonics.... I about wet my pants. I suggest you go try it fo'
yo'badself... be warned it could be mildly offensive if you're overly
sensitive.
