Yes, the airplane is sold to much younger friend who helped me build it.
It was tough decision but it hit me this week, if I keep flying it I will wreck it.
Problem is I like to fly - often. Recently flew with direct cross wind, twice quarterly tail wind and nearly lost it.
Ok. Short answer, don?t fly on such days. That?s not good enough.
There aren?t that many good days to fly and to deal with challenge of not wrecking airplane many flights is less than fun at my age. I enjoy flight but don?t need an emergency landing quite so often. And it never made sense to me to own airplane and not fly couple times a week.
So moving forward, have another good friend building RV-12. He says could use help completing it. We will finish the 12 and fly it.
Was difficult decision but it is done.
