By the way, Rvflyer, that is a nice pic as your avatar.  Is that your RV?  Which RV is it?

The RV is what I would pick if I were to have my choice of two-place planes.  So nice!

Yes sir that is my RV-6, I built that in 1989 and am still flying it today. "FUN" airplane. Stressed for +-6g's ultimate 9g
I've pulled 5 for an instant and that is enough for me.:) Powered with an O-360 Lycoming and empty weight at time of first flight was 978lbs
I am sure that has gone  up over the years, definitely know that pilot weight has.:(

An RV would be sweet. Not sure I have the patience or skills for the build though. Also Mrs Wooley has vowed never to get in an aircraft I'm flying, never mind one I built. Strange how she'll trust the 20 year old stranger who's at the end of an 18 hour shift to fly her in a Regional, but not me.

lol in all honesty I just got ridiculously sick and wretched my dinner out in a trash can on the living room floor. Now I'm here on this stupid BBS trying to drink some water and eat some oyster crackers without a repeat event.

Time to move away from post 666
