Today I start working with a guy going from a 7a to a 7 on his TW endorsement. Insurance doesn’t like TW owners with less than 25 hours TW time.

Adam, I was going back through looking at pictures again...and noticed that you have a PII...you, sir, have great taste in planes (I get to fly a P2 for the company...and it's awesome)

Great looking paint job. Lancaster did a great job on my Tiger.

I've been loving my 6a for the last couple of months. We also have the io360 and hartzell ba cs prop. Like a previous poster, we get about 160-165 ktas at 7-7.5 gph depending on altitude and conditions (23 or wot /23). We can also do about 175 ktas at 9.5-9.8 gph (25 or wot/25).

It's also caused me to fall in love the g3x and full glass (touchscreen) panels. I had not particularly liked the g1000 (non-nxi) vs the g5 and wasn't fully convinced, but the g3x touch has just been fantastic to me.

On the thread at hand, I love the paint. Ours is probably 4-5 years out from needing a refresh (just did a ceramic coat to try to bring some life back into it) and I have seen quite a few to be jealous of in this thread.

None of the hate and internet finger shaking changes how I feel. I will still tell you online or face to face what I think. However, I fully believe that face to face, none of you would be as demeaning and arbitrary as you can be as you are behind a keyboard. Its not surprising that some of you got your feelings hurt because I said what others were afraid to say for the exact reason exemplified in this thread. A minority opinion must be suppressed at all cost. :roll:

Carry on, boys. Carry on. :lol:

I need way more checkerboard tail feathers in my feed and life. Love it!

Adam,

When you get to fly it, and do a GPS box to confirm there is no dynamic static errors would be interested to know what TAS you get with that prop.

I have a mate here with one on his 7 and it is slow, by about 5 - 8 knots. Compared to other RV's. About 5 to other FP and 8 to CSU.

Just be interesting to learn from your experience.

David, I will share the numbers with you when I get a chance to speed check it.

Adam, your beautiful airplane is almost exactly what I'm building.
Tail dragger, tip-up canopy (love the unrestricted visability), parallel valve Lycoming 360.
Still debating what prop, but the 3-blade Catto is on the short list.
It will also have some checkerboard in the paint scheme, somehow.
The only difference, since my last two airplanes have had mostly blue trim, I'm currently thinking I'll go with more red.
Thanks for letting me gawk at your picture. Makes me want to hurry mine along.
