Re: Building the RV-15

I have thought from the very beginning that the RV 15 is going to be a fantastic airplane. Everything I see about it so far suggests the same.

If I didn't like flying so much, I'd sell my current ride and buy a kit...... :roll:

I agree, if i hadthat kind of disposable income I would do it. Winters are long out here in west AK.

Cannery winter eatchmen at PPT built two nice RV’s: a 4 and a 6. I saw the prints in his shop after XC skinging to the cannery but he wasnt around. Met up with him at the PO in Naknek a week later, he asked me to promise not to tell a soul, he said he didnt want anyone to think he was crazzy for starting to build a second RV ;)

That is not my Carbon Cub, I am building in his hangar. I sold my Bearhawk Companion to build the RV-15
