A friend of mine built a Quick Build RV6. It was the 53rd kit and finished in 98. Great flying airplane. I always wanted to build an RV8 but engine prices have risen more than my income! Enjoy yours!

Don't forget the Chinook!
@ianslife2102 жыл бұрын
Oh no worries there, its complete separate from this plane. I usually have a "flyer" and a "project" at any given time. The chinook is the project, the RV is the flyer.

I love this video! I know people talk about buying kits, and building aircraft. But this is interesting, because it shows why you brought the kit that you bought, and what the actual airplane is like. Thank you for this helpful video. By the way, I found your channel on the aviation, content creators page. Keep doing what you’re doing. Fly well! New sub!

Welcome to the world of vans aircraft. I loved my -6. Sold it last year and bought a harmon rocket. I still miss it at times.

I can tell that your have found your path, I can feel it in the way you talk and on all the plans for the future. This is a gorgeous airplane and it will allow you to do what you always wanted to do without restrictions. What is coming is exciting and we are happy to be able to share it with you.

Congratulations! I've flown a friend's RV-6 and it was a blast. Like you, he bought it already built and has personalized it, too. Waiting on an engine and prop overhaul to be completed now( Cylinders are almost unobtainable , like everything else now ) Enjoy, and please share ALL the content!

Beautiful bird, you have to be proud! I’m hoping someday to get a ride, oddly, I’ve never had a chance to get that famous RV-grin!

Since the day I saw a RV-4 for the first time as a little kid I've wanted one so more than proud, I'm fulfilling a childhood dream to own one!

Every time I see an RV on here it reminds me of the kit I have sitting in boxes in my basement right now, looking forward to finally getting a new shop to get my 4 aircrafts built lol.

@@ianslife210 That's great news. Nice to see the new panel and to hear that you're out enjoying it. I often get entrenched in modifying hobby purchases, to the point of diminishing returns, instead of just enjoying them for what they are🤔🤔🤔🙄🙄🙄😆😆😉

Is RockHopper still in the works. I was following your wing modifications and am very curious about results. I am working on a Kitfox 2 that I was considering the newer airfoil. I also have half complete RV-8 that I inherited that I will complete some day. Thanks for you informative vids!

Approximately what were the engine times and what did approximately cost in this new RV market
@ianslife2102 жыл бұрын
We bought it at about 700hrs. We got a good deal on it, well under market, but we took a chance on the condition of the engine given its long sit. Fortunately that gamble seems to have paid off as the oil analysis has come back good.

Don’t ground it this time with your fiddles and mods like you do every other plane you get. Plus finish the other one coz I keep investing in your builds and the next minute I know it’s flipped for something else. 🙁 God, I spoke too soon. Just got my coffee and continued the vid to hear your plans. 🤦♂️ Just fly the bloody thing and continue with the Chinook or have you off loaded it?
@ianslife2102 жыл бұрын
This one won’t be down for any significant period of time. Think more along the lines of our Rans s6 which was pretty active for its entire time with us than the chinook (which has been FAR bigger a project than anticipated).
@flymrd2 жыл бұрын
do you ever finish any projects? unsubscribe.
@ianslife2102 жыл бұрын
The other projects are still ongoing. We sold the Rans and replaced it with this. There’s another episode of the chinook build coming up in a couple of weeks.
