AKWeav: You undermodled my grin.

Update on the RV.

I have been looking at RV's for the past 2 months. There were 2 of them that I was interested in both priced the same. The grey one (picture above) had a better paint job,plus localizer. They Yellow one had a better prop & eng. Lo and behold the owner of the yellow one droped it price by 10k yesterday, im sending him a check this after noon.

So this will be my new bird.

I flew in an RV-6 once.
2 months later the pilot that I flew with died in it.

Copy that. Fly Safe HiTech.

For safety find a good mechanic, its worth the time to look.

Maybe you can work a discount by bribing him with a comped AH account.

Oh gawd!, now I gotta redo the whold thing.

Btw, I'll see what I can do to fix the grin:)

AKWeav - Try to find a cheap copy of "Kai's Photo Soap" (if I recall correctly)

It has all sorts of image goofery wrapped up in a cheesy AOL-style interface. Not something you'd use for everyday image manipulation, but it's fun to play with.

Way cool! Can you get your taildragger sign-off in that, since it's experimental?
