Yesterday, 03/21/2007, N18XP, RV-6a QB kit #60534 took to the air from
Newberg, OR. This was quite the red letter day in other respects also,
one that I think other builders are going to have a tough time
matching... Not only did my -6a "baby" become an airplane, but another
baby was born, our first great-grandchild. Sophie arrived just 3 hours
before first flight, and weighed 8 lbs with dark hair and blue eyes.
We are so very blessed.
N18XP flew flawlessly, with her Superior IO360 and Hartzell 74"
blended airfoil prop. The six years spent building were rewarding in
every way, and I truly believe I learned something new each one of those
days.
Thank you Van, for such a great design, and your outstanding crew at
Van's, particularly Dale, Gus, and Rob, always very helpful, and Ken
Scott who gave me that first "$30,000 Ride" where I was instantly
hooked.
I'd also like to thank Bob Haan, Dan Benua, Len Kauffman, Frank Sneed
and many others from EAA105 along the way for all the help, without
which this journey would have been much tougher. Oh, and I better
mention the folks online at the "RV-list", "Aeroelectric List" and "Vans
AF", LOTS of help there...
Now to get those 40 hours flown off... Yah, someone's got to do it!!

Robert, are those Bob Debordes wing tips? They look just like the ones I
have on my RV-6, if they are they are great tips
I like them much better than the ones Van's provides.

My tech counselor recommended I rebuild my VS. (Biggest problem was
I bucked rivets on the spar because I didn't have a squeezer that
could do 1/8" rivets.) Anyway, I called Van's to order the parts and
basically they have no concept of a "vertical stab" subkit - you need
to have the full parts list. Does anybody happen to have this handy
for a 9A??
