I got back from Sun-N-Fun this afternoon. The trip down and the show was
great, but the trip back was a real test of patience... My dad and I went down
in his Piper Arrow (about a 140-145 knot cruise) and it took us almost all
day to get back... two fuel stops, IMC, icing, 50 knot head winds, and
controllers stretched to the breaking point. It was fun, but I don't want to
do it
again for a while.
I did not see anyone wearing a "T" shirt from the group so I struck out
there. I stopped by the Van's booth and was surprised to see that over 4'200
had
been completed. I was talking with a few of the old guys I knew from back
when I was building and they estimated that there were currently 16'000-18'000
people activley building RV's now. Boy have things changed... They had an
RV -10 for sale in the booth. I think the price was about $280'000 with an
IO-360 and a very basic VFR panel.
