First of all a huge thank you to the admins for adding me to the forum.
Hello All, I am a new PPL holder and got my ticket in July'23. As soon as I got my PPL, i started flying friends and family and have racked up around 92 hrs total so far. I also dream about building my own RV one day but have many newbie questions.
One question I have is, as a builder, do you also install the engine at the home garage and then tow the aircraft to the airport ? how does it work for folks that does not have a hanger at the airport? Do you have to have at least a tie down sport at the airport so that after the test flight, the airplane can be tied there?
In all the videos that I have watched on youtube, I see builders working in a hanger at the airport and just push the aircraft out and take it for a test flight..
TIA for answers and guidance
