Report
Yes, we had Rusty's Rotary show up (sans Rusty), guess
I'm going to have to stop calling it Rusty's. Rich came to the flyin to
learn more about the rotary engine, so the RV-3 is in good
hands. In fact, I saw Finn eyeing it with a gleam in his
eye.
Hi
Ed,
Thanks for
the kind comments, and great report. I actually thought I'd get an RV-7
friend of mine to fly me over yesterday, and figured it would be interesting
to walk around anonymously :-) He already had plans though, so maybe
next year.
You're
right about the plane being in good hands with Rich Nadig. There are
very few people that I would have been comfortable selling the plane to, but
he's certainly one of them. It should really be nice by the time he gets
done fine tuning some things. Might need to add a wheel on the front
to protect the prop though :-)
I spent the
week finishing up the single rotor engine installation. I'll post
some pics later in the week, when it's closer to being done. Total
weight is around 235 lbs. With any luck, I can make a
leisurely flight to next years roundup.
Cheers,
Rusty
(maybe canceling the Sonex order
tomorrow)
