In two weeks I've had two new aviation experiences. first last week I caught a ride home from a CAP meeting at ILG with a member of our squadron that has an RV-6. I got about .4 in the plane and all I can say is WoW! that plane is so much fun. A bit loud for sure but amazingly fun and fast. Got me thinking about buidling then my wife gave me that look that said are you Freaking NUTS.
Second is that I have been having trouble finding an Archer to rent on short notice. Our FBO's Archer is very popular and hard to get any time in. So since I'll be flying 172s with CAP I was going to get checked out in the DA-20s at the field. Then they Got a Kappa. The American version with the wide cabin. Man that thing climbs like a bat and had a cruise of about 135mph and awesome vis. The short field abilities are awesome. Those rotax engines are a little disconcerting when the stop though.
