Met up with Staunch111 at Bankstown today.
I had no idea that he's not only a new builder (only just inventoried!) but had never flown in an RV before! Ye gods, how could that be?
So we fixed that, quick smart. Out to the North for a run up the beaches, back via the Bankstown lane of entry, out towards Warragamba, then return via Prospect.
Always need to make sure the RV Grin is properly aligned, dimpled, deburred, and permanently installed before starting the rest of the kit, eh?
Any other builders or RV pilots in the Sydney area: I think he'll appreciate help and advice. He has the kit, and is umm'ing and err'ing about whether to buy a flying aircraft. Reach out, I think he's interested in hearing opinions.
(RV Grin picture was taken by another guest, an RV-6A builder from the UK who I also took flying. We'll need to wait for the photo here, though, he didn't bring a laptop with him so won't be exacting photos from his flash cards until he gets back to England)
