The RV is ready to be inspected, waiting for FAA paperwork. I'm interested in hearing what you have to say, and will let you know after I fly the RV. I am not a very experienced pilot having learned to fly about 6 years ago in a Piper Warrior, and then buying a Cessna 150. I am thankful for the Grumman experience, and at least I know that looking out at those short wings won't be such a shock! By the way the Grumman is FOR SALE now! Its located in North Central Indiana. Contact me off list for details.
