Scion, That's a beautiful bird! I guess it's like flying anything. Eventually you have to do it by yourself. I still remember my first solo in VH-RWF, and then again in G-BBYB for my tailwheel conversion. I guess learning to fly things is just a succession of these memorable events.
I love these old aircraft. Flying is still a personal adventure for me, but back in those days, it was an adventure for the whole of mankind!
I will keep the faith, S As you say, you never know what will happen. My dream, which will hopefully start turning reality near the end of this year is to build and fly an RV-8. Well, earlier, I wouldn't have credited being taken for my first flight in one with a Mr Johanson. A gentleman with a true adventurous spirit. I believe he is somewhere over the Pacific in an RV as I type this.
Regards, A
