CANCELED – SportAir RV Builder’s Workshop (0 hrs)

This entry was posted in Plans and tagged practice on by

I’m officially signed up for a RV Builder’s Workshop at Frederick Municipal Airport in October! The course is a full day Saturday and Sunday review of all the skills required to build an RV. I’ll post more after the course.

Sept 14, 2012: Unfortunately, this class has been canceled. Apparently, all the SportAir classes at Frederick have been canceled for the foreseeable future.

Jack Savage, the local EAA chapter president, owns a beautiful RV-8 which he agreed to show me yesterday. I was lucky enough to go for a ride. It was a quick flight, but I got to fly for awhile and we did an aileron roll as well. Jack stayed low and fast on takeoff for a rapid climb out.

While I love all the RV models, the -8 is definitely the model for me.
