Over the past several months I have been learning a lot about the Vans RV airplanes. One of my friends is looking into buying an RV-7A or an RV-9A; it is a case of aerobatics vs. stability.
When you listen to people who talk about what it takes to build your own airplane they never mention one thing, the ability to make a decision. You have to choose which kit to buy, where to build it, quick build or regular, engine, avionics, interior, paint, and the list goes on and on. There are thousands of little decisions that you must make.
Over the last few years the choice of panels has gotten a lot more difficult. Now you must decide between the old round gauges and glass panels.
The latest cool general aviation thingy has been the Garmin G1000 Glass Panel. Up until recently you could only get this in a new production airplane. But now they have the new G900X http://www.garmin.com/products/g900x/, made for the Lancair and RV kits.
It will be interesting to see the price on this new item.
Decisions, Decisions, Decisions!
