I have debated many times the path to get flying an RV. I do love to build but with so many deals showing up it is hard to justify building. So I am hoping to start the road to buying a flying RV. (Looking for an RV4 or 6A as they seem the most affordable) RV7A is my dream but a little out of reach for now.
It seems like just yesterday that I was flying, but looking at my log book it shows I have not flown in 10 years. I have been working on re-engineering my life to make RV ownership part of my life for the last 6-years.
So, I have several questions to the Houston area pilots:
Is there a flight instructor you recommend who can help me get back into the air and get a tail wheel endorsement? Aerobatics? Preferably in north Houston.
Are there any hangars available in the area (preferably north Houston) for when I do find a plane?
What are your thoughts on tie downs instead of a hangar with regards to an RV? (hot, humid, bugs, hurricanes, and cost)
Any advice for getting back into the air and buying/owning and RV?
And, should I even try to fly now or should I save every cent and buy/build?
Thanks in advance!
