I've been lurking here for a year or so, but recently bought an RV-3A and decided it was time to join up and support the site.
I want to dedicate my first post to Steve Hurlburt who made the purchase of the RV-3A (my first owned aircraft) a much less stressful experience.
Steve is a member of this site and has built several RVs. He happened to live in the same city where the RV-3A was listed for sale. Although I only know Steve through this site, he agreed to perform a pre-buy inspection on my behalf, including a test flight. He then provided me with in-depth written reports on both. And he did this without any expectation of compensation! I was truly impressed with his incredible support. His feedback allowed me to proceed with the purchase knowing I wouldn't be disappointed.
As I begin my own journey into the Van's world, it's encouraging to know there are such fine people around who are willing to help out when asked.
Thanks Steve. I really appreciate your professionalism and kindness.
