Subject: | One more RV flying |
I havent posted to this list serve in quite a while but I thought Id drop a note
to the effect that another rare RV-3 took to the sky this weekend. Not my first
RV or airplane to build and fly, but the grin is still remarkably infectious.
She flies pretty much hands free except for the usual right rudder.
The usual CHTs on the right side are also a tad warm on climb out, but Ill wait
until break in is done to do too much sorting out. Its manageable if I dont keep
the power at full blast with the nose up.
Shes about 300lbs lighter than my -6 so handles noticeably lighter. The sight picture
appears somewhat higher so finding that 1 inch wheel to ground zone is
going to take a few landings. It may be that things are smaller which makes it
feel higher and Im over correcting.
The integrated Dynon Skyview system is pretty cool but the data density being presented
is intense while flying the airplane. That will take some getting used
to in spite of countless hours staring at it and pushing buttons.

Congratulations!
I have given serious thought to building a -3. I would like to hear more
about the differences and joy of flying it. I am using a GRT HX and am
entirely addicted to all the information without a big instrument scan.

Subject: | Pre buy inspection? |
I recently sold my RV-10 aircraft. As we all know an important aspect
of any aircraft ownership change is the pre-buy inspection.
In my case the pre-buy inspection was done on behalf of the buyer by Vic
Syracuse of Base Leg Aviation. Vic, as most of us know, is a multiple
repeat offending builder of several RVs and other experimental aircraft.
He is also a DAR, AI, CFII, and probably one of the Van=99s
families=99 most respected experts. He gave the keynote address
at this year=99s Van=99s Banquet at Air Venture.
Vic=99s inspection of my aircraft was through, and efficiently
completed. The result of his work was instrumental in the sale being
completed smoothly.
I believe the buyer is confident he is getting a good airplane and I am
confident he is in good hands as he becomes acclimated to his new
airplane.
So, if you are an RV shopper or seller I would certainly recommend Base
Leg Aviation for the pre-buy inspection or any of their other many
services.60

Congrats on another leaving the nest. I hear the -3 flies the best; any truth
to the rumor?
