A big thanks goes out to Rob Kermanj. I was visiting a friend at Treasure Coast Air Park in Port St. Lucie, Florida. We took his RV-6a for a breakfast hop. What a great flying plane. After landing, we watched a few planes in the pattern, and in comes a beautiful RV-10, N225ES !!!
After landing, Rob invited me for a ride. I got a full ride including take off and landing with great instruction from a non CFI. Take off was uneventful with great performance with just finger tips on the stick. turns required minimal elevator to maintain altitude. In the pattern with reduced power the slow flight and half flap settings were very easy to manage speed. Landing was a breeze compared to my Cessna 170, it was my first trike landing in 4 years! I voluntered to babysit the -10 any time!
Rob, thanks again for a great ride and letting me experience that RV grin (in someone elses RV). Today i finished building my left elevator and dimpled the spars for the right elevator..... I am high on motivation.
