How many of you had some sort of demo ride before buying your kits?
I've been daydreaming about a retirement project, started focused on an RV-14.... spent a few minutes in the cockpit at sun n fun 2022 and mostly liked it.
Later I've been considering the RV-12 more....
and I keep thinking that since cross country is a big part of my mission
and I've even wondering about other branded options, but mostly keep coming back to daydreaming about the RV's. I guess because they seem to be more popular and I'm becoming more familiar with them
Anyway, There are some fundamental things about the designs I'm not excited about but, they seem to work well for so many folks I realize these are probably no big deal...
Anyway, I'm not super close to handing over a credit card yet, but still I keep wondering how to choose which one. The performance and spec sheets only answer so much
Great if you have a friend or some other hands on experience
and no doubt there might be folks in the area that might be willing but that's the sort of thing that might get familiar with one model, not to compare multiple models more or less side....
but otherwise, I recon you're left with travelling for a factory demo ride...which I'm starting to think about doing more and more.
Do they typically set up a ride in only one type, or do they commonly let folks compare multiple models?
