.. So what did you do with your RV/RV kit this weekend??
Me -- I didn't really do anything with my RV. As a matter of fact, soon I won't even own one (!) but I did do something with my Debonair that involves an RV.
Yesterday, we flew from Fallbrook (L18) to Oceano (L52) for lunch. We had a very good lunch at the Rock & Roll Diner. Beautiful day for a flight; the Santa Ana winds were blowing, so I thought that it may be bumpy, but it wasn't too bad at all. Looking at PIREPS, north of SNA and south of SMO, and as far east as PSP, it was obvious that there was turbulence at the lower altitudes, but we did not feel much of anything. 10,500' up and 11,500' down. Great flight. The temperature was just right, and the Debonair was performing great - 200 KTAS at 10,500'
What makes this RV related? When we walked back to the airport, as I walked back to my airplane, an RV-8 pulled up. I had a brief conversation with the owner, who was looking forward to getting it painted soon. He came in from HWD.
