I am an aspiring RV builder, living in Denver, Colorado. My wife and I have been planning to build for a couple years now, and I am very close to pulling the trigger on an RV-10 kit. However, I really want to fly in one before I commit.
Back in February, my wife and I took a vacation to the Vans factory in Portland to get a ride in the 10, but the weather made that impossible (nice to see the factory though - See Trip Post "Pilgrammage to Portland").
Then I took vacation out to Oshkosh for a week this year, in hopes I might get a demo ride in the RV-10, but the people in the Vans tent told me they had given all of the the test flights on Monday (I arrived Wednesday AM).
So now I sit... I'm excited about building a Vans, but I'm worried that the feel of the 10 will be too mushy and not as responsive as I'm looking for. My wife wants a 4-seater, but I just can't make the choice until I know for sure how it will fly. Is there anyone in Colorado with an RV-10 they are willing to take me up in for a demo flight? Please PM me...
