Hi Tim; nice 35 knot tailwind blowing through AL the
other day and a V35 was bragging about his 190 knot GS
to approach control when I passed him in my 150HP
RV4...oops! You need another RV!

Hi Tim, Glad to hear you are also flying, a BONANZA yet! How did you feel
selling a plane you built? I would think it was difficult to do. How did you
handle the liability aspect of the sale? I am having trouble with the fuel
tanks so I won't be flying for a while until the new tanks are built and
installed. (no small job). The plane is 13 years old now and needs a few
things attended to. I am having Noreast Aircraft Inc. @ plymouth do the work
as they are familiar with the RV-4. I can't imagine selling her, I have too
much fun . Hope to see you around the patch. Jim

Hi Jim,
It was diffficult parting with 46PH (I kept the rights to the tail number),
it's true, but one wheel kept dragging (afraid of a lock up on landing), the
(2nd) carb was leaking fuel (afraid of an engine fire) , I was concerned
about rust on/in the gear legs(gear collapse?) etc, so I would have needed a
lot of time to get it right.
I found a fellow who was willing to sign papers assuring he would use the
airframe for ground static tests, and never let the parts fly again. The
engine, avionics etc. were sold to folks from Florida to California to
Canada.
I miss the carefree flight and actual construction of the parts. But I fly
Coast Guard Auxiliary, some Angel Flights, and personal missions with three
aboard fairly regularly now though.
I'm blessed either way as I see it and each day I get to fly I am just happy
I can fly at all.
Hope your bird gets healthy soon.
Tim W.
