Hi Charlie, you caught my attention when you mentioned buying an RV-6 from
Chuck Dunlap - has Chuck build a second rotary powered aircraft?  Have not
heard from/about him since he failed to make it cross Texas to the Pecan
Plantation flyin - you remember that joyful flight do you not??

Hi Mike,

Keep 'em coming; that's how I learn.

RV handling: As nice as  the -6's handling is, it's nothing compared to 
a -4 (I'm currently flying my 2nd one, purchased from Chuck Dunlap).  
I've heard that the -3 is even better than the -4; if anyone wants to 
let me fly one to find out for myself, just let me know.
