| Subject: | Re: Some RV-8 Stick/Dual Time... |
If you are ever near Seattle (and it's not raining) I'm always happy to fly
with someone in the right seat of my RV-7 taildragger. Especially someone
that wants to buy fuel and meals!!
I have a very nice 6 year old airplane with full dual controls, dual EFIS
and dual brakes. Hangared at KPWT. I'm not an instructor, though.

Fly either the 6 or the 7 from the right seat. That way, the stick
and throttle will be the correct hands!!
