Well sold my RV-4 and spent the day yesterday between the low ceilings and
light rain getting him checked out in the plane so he can fly it outta here
when the clouds go away. He is up at Concord N.C with it now waiting for
weather to clear so he can fly it back to his home near Chicago.
I haven't been in my RV since I took his deposit almost a month ago and
after flying him in it yesterday I know I will miss this airplane. Maybe
later down the road I will get another one, one with a bigger engine and
constant speed prop and all the goodies so I can outrun Tad and Randy and
the few others who were a little faster than me!

Ron, congrats on selling and delivering the 4. For a man with more toys than
me you sound disappointed.

Ron,
Your 4 is going to a good new home. Jerry will take good care of it. The
Chicago area has an active RV community, at least it did when I was part of
it.

He already is home with the plane. Not sure when he got outta Concord N.C.
with it, but I called him just after dark and he was standing in front of
his hangar with the plane he said. Glad he made it back ok.

So he realized he didn't need to overnight half way -- good. I bet he's
thrilled with his new bird and it's long legs.....

Who wouldn't like a new chick with long legs? I am sure he will be very happy with her!

Ron,
Jerry Grimmonpre is a member of EAA Chap 790 in Barrington IL (NW of
Chicago) where I was a member before moving to Charlotte when I retired. He
told me he had purchased your RV-4. Offered him a place to stay when he came
down to pick it up but his plan was to head north the same day. Sounds like
he didn't make it out the same day.

No he didn't! Barry Thigpen picked Jeery and his friend up at Charlotte
Douglas Tuesday morning and took them to Goose Creek where he looked the
plane over and then we attempted to fly it to Monroe, but the ceilings were
just too low so we went back to Goose Creek and left the plane and went to
lunch. After lunch we tried to fly to Monroe again but like before it was
IFR towards Monroe and Marginal at Goose Creek, but improving towards
Concord, so we flew over to Concord. Jerry needed to be checked out in the
plane - he had never flown a RV before as far as I know - so Concord was
better than Goose Creek with low ceilings and a 30 foot wide short runway.
We did some takeoffs and landings with me in front then Jerry in front at
Concord and then called it quits as he was doing pretty good without my
help. Jerry had the tanks topped off and went inside to look at the weather
- which was only good to the North, but not good enough to cross the
mountains VFR. He elected to stay in Concord and wait for the storm and
clouds to clear out. That happened yesterday some time and he must have
hauled ass home as he was at his hangar before dark there with the plane.
