Today I benefited from "pre-inspection" inspections by 4 local RV builders/flyers. My afternoon started with a mini-airshow as 3 arrived together: Barry Logan (RV7) arrived from the north, joining the pattern just ahead of Ric Woldow (RV8) flying his Super Cub in formation with Chad Poblanz (RV8) flying his Waco. A few minutes later, Rick Olson arrived from the east flying his RV4. Inspections proceeded quickly, with a few questions and recommendations. Nothing significant, fortunately - but it's great to have their experienced eyes examine my build thoroughly. Mostly they noticed some differences in design for the RV14a vs their earlier kits - but a lot hasn't changed over the years with Vans design. After some enjoyable hangar talk, I got to enjoy another mini-airshow as they departed together. A great experience. Thanks guys!
