Love to join you, Cappy.  However, there seems to be an obstruction at the 

entrance to my hangar - going to have to see about fixing that {:>).

You can't get it fixed if you are home on the computer.

Come on down!!!! We will have something for all to do.



And then there is BBQ.



Will need to have an idea as to who is coming so I make sure we have plenty of rides (no problem really).

hey, just a thought from a RV wannabe...since I have had some formation/aerobatic/carrier landing ex[erience, and also instructed in advanced Naval Aviator training, maybe ai can be of some help to others in your community. As a 62 y/o, still working physician, I am exploring avenues to enter this RV world. I expect to attempt a purchase of a suitable plane...looking at these web postings, looks like the building process is a challenge I will not have the energy for!

     Soooo...if any one wants a right seater to observe and help where needed...let me know( I never hit a student with a knee board...at least that I can remember! HA!)....JOHN SHERM, Wilmington, NC

John,

 I am chomping at the bit to post a sarcastic  reply, however, in the spirit of friendship from one RV lover to another... We  hope you will come to one of our gatherings.  There is often a back seat  (or side seat) open and we are itching to get you pointed towards that  RV purchase (as long as the third wheel is on the correct end).  Welcome to  the forum and come fly with us.

Looks like Miss Lynnie has me going to the lake at 1:30 PM with  friends.  So I will pass on CUB but keep me posted I do want to come and  harass James and Kin.   Especially since I know what a nice hang out they  have.

We are flying back up to Stormy's part of the country to have dinner with

the family at the Greenbriar Inn in White Sulfur Springs. It'll be the first

time flying the RV with a tie on! Hope it's another beautiful day like the

one Stormy had for us last Saturday. Come to think about it, we may have to

stop calling him Stormy?

Well Ron's reply generates a few ?'s...why the hesitance for a sarcastic response? ( I woud hope this from some sense of fraternalistic competition maybe?...and that would be fine!)

 ...simply...I am totally ignorant of your guy's "club"...I only have info gained form my observing the internet to-and-from---which can be very misleading!

      to Ron...I was a very Sierra Hotel pilot in in my own mind, and we all know how annoying those types are!..including your's truly!)...but formation flying...sharing the 3-dimensional envelope...and precision aerobatics/tactics are a special interest of mine...I am getting internal stirrings propelling me to revist these wonderful sensations!...I hope to find you guys and quell these surging emotions....I come as a friend!...please stay in contact! JOHN SHERM, Wilmington NC...(ps..had a WONDERFUL "cold" call to Dr Perritt a few wks ago...I hope to be able to see his a/c soon...I wish I got involved in this "stuff" 10 yrs ago! )

OK, Ron S...just where is that 3rd wheel best placed??!! Seriously..this tail dragger "thing" is so much mentioned, but rarely discussed re: specifics of technique....

     ...so, do you really just "land" on that tail...(hell!...we almost did that every time on the carrier!)...seriously...I need to REALLY investigate whether a tail-dragger/tricycle gear is my best solution!...seems like many are deterred from the tail dragger configuration..can this added skill be learned by a 62 y/o, with minimal intellect?

It can be learned by anyone capable landing one with the wheel up front.



RV's about 1/2 tailwheel and about 1/2 nosewheel by count. There is always "friendly chatter" about which is best. In the end they are ALL RV's and fun to fly. So except for when you are approach/rolling on/departing from/taxiing near runways, they are all the same.   



As Ron mentioned, just raise a hand when you hear about people flying around and you will most likely find that there is a seat available. A word of caution though ... DO NOT let them convince you to take the stick for a few minutes!! If you do, it is ALL OVER. You have been warned!!  Don't say we didn't tell you so.

Well, James that is great advice! And a good sense of sharing lessons learned...actually, I'd gladly take the stick...I don't have the op very often! but I get u'r drift!  Are many local/regional guys getting into aerobatics/formation flying etc? ...keep me in your e-contact! John

The funny point is that the tail guys have as many hours as  the rest of us, but three times the landings eh eh eh.

James, Terry and I are possible for Saturday.   If the weather north to D.C. is forcast correctly, then I am not going there and  would be available for lunch and practice.  I am making the call early  enough to join the group be 10:00am.

 Most of us sissy-wheeled knuckle-draggers seem to do OK with one up front...

 FORMATION? Doc, you just jumped right into the veritable hornet's nest of formating!

 Aw, c'mon, James- this AIN'T friendly and I'm throwin' down the gauntlet!! You KNOW sissywheels are superior, so quit being so non-commital/political!!!!    (BIG <G>!)
