Hi Charlie, you caught my attention when you mentioned buying an RV-6 from
Chuck Dunlap - has Chuck build a second rotary powered aircraft?  Have not
heard from/about him since he failed to make it cross Texas to the Pecan
Plantation flyin - you remember that joyful flight do you not??

 Other impressions. The airplane is loud, but not painfully so. At
least not from the pilot's seat. The handling and control power still
seem quite a bit better than my RV-6A (which was great). Not really
clear why but most of my flying in the -6A I had someone in the right
seat so maybe the weight? Other than the rudder, the airplane flies
perfectly straight.

 All things considered I'm real happy. This flight was considerably
less stressful than the first and I actually was able to enjoy it. I
honestly dont remember a lot of the first flight. Also, I took my
glider data logger with me on this flight. I havent downloaded it yet,
but when I do I'll know more about speeds, climb rate, etc.

 Dont know how you guys feel about these flight reports. Give me some
feedback if you want more as my testing progresses. I know that I like
reading about other's flight experiences as it motivated me to keep
going. After 13 years of building I'll tell you, its worth it. Now I
wish I'd pressed harder to get it done sooner.

 Next flight will have to wait until I get gear leg stiffeners added.
Classic RV - pretty bad shimmy on the roll out after landing. 38.5
hours to go!

Hi Mike,

Keep 'em coming; that's how I learn.

RV handling: As nice as  the -6's handling is, it's nothing compared to
a -4 (I'm currently flying my 2nd one, purchased from Chuck Dunlap).
I've heard that the -3 is even better than the -4; if anyone wants to
let me fly one to find out for myself, just let me know.
