Go for it, Rusty. Man with a spouse like that, don't pass up the opporunity {:>).

Afterall, somebody has to break the ground first, make the mistakes, do the redos, etc. Its nice to have you in the lead doing all of that. Regardless of the outcome, the rest of us will benefit - hopefully you will also - of course {:>)

Subject: [FlyRotary] back in the turbo saddle

If you Need at turbo - like somebody in a Mountain region might to get up over ridge lines etc, or for some other reason then I would say stick with it. If the tubo is just a "nice to have" then you might want to reconsider.

Hi Ed,

It wasn't John that couldn't decide which way to go, it was me, which shouldn't be a big surprise :-)

I realized a couple things today:

1- I don't need a turbo to fly an RV-3 the way Van intended it to be flown.

2- I do need a turbo to fly it the way I want it to fly.

Cheers,

Rusty (Hello Turbonetics, goodbye money)
