During movie night, the conversation obviously was all about flying as it always is. I mentioned that I had flown in an RV6A, RV8A, RV8 and RV9A but I had never been up in a -7 of any kind even though I'm building one. Well, Jeff Radtke overheard this and blurted out..."what are you doing tomorrow morning?" I said, "nothing, why?"...he then replied, "lets go flying." Well, giddy up, you betcha...what time? The deal was sealed.
Jeff built a RV7A with his dad, who is an A&P. So, we met up saturday morning for a 10:00am flight. We spent about an hour buzzing around eastern Colorado...most of which I had the stick. So, it was cool to get a feel for how a -7A flies. But...it flies pretty much identical to the factory -8A that I also flew. Anyway, big thanks to Jeff for the flight!!
