I own an FAA approved BATD. You can let others use it. Nobody has ever come to use mine. I have not marketed it as a business but did put it out for the world to see and make it known. tldr, not sure it is worth creating a business over.

Any deviations they care about and the conversation might start with them requesting you to "say altitude" as a polite nudge.

Thanks. I just figured out how to find addresses of owners of flying rv14s, will send letters to a bunch begging for a ride.

Where are you (really your rv14) located?

Quick build times are way out. I’d debate ordering all the kits to get in line for a thunderbolt engine in 2026 if lucky. 3yrs they say I have a plane already.

I spent years shopping for my first plane, would need to spend years shopping for next one, years even to order new.

I disagree. I’ve had gads of issues with getting maintenance performed. Shops are busy and juggle work. Also, a logical step up from a 172 would be a 200mph capable plane. Buying used and bringing it up to snuff would perhaps take more money and just as long. 182 rg modern gadgets, 300hp...

It was neat to meet another guy on the tour that flies at twin oaks, knows the guy that owns the plane my grandfather flew

Getting ready for a tour

Yesterday we got to see a plane my grandfather flew in the 40’s. We hope to see another next month.

Coastal Oregon. Mts. Rainier and hood visible. No pics but saw seals on tillamook lighthouse

I'm glad some of my landings were not on video!
