2015 Camrose Fly-in Breakfast



I attended my first fly-in breakfast in Camrose Alberta. What a fun event. It was a treat to see a number of different planes. I focused on the Van's Aircraft. I was really interested in taking a look at some of the examples and I was not disappointed. I was able to view three of the many RV-7A's up close. One of the RV's in my opinion was a bit of a poor build quality on the tail. 

On the other hand, there were two very beautiful examples of really nice quality work. I met the Pilot (Jay) of C-FXPT who in my opinion has a very beautiful example. It was a pleasure to be able to talk to Jay and get some of his advice. I thank him very much for his time. Did I mention that he has a very nice paintjob!!


After leaving the Fly-in, I felt reassured that I was making the right choices to accept/reject some of my build quality. It helped lift my spirits to soldier on!

I did make mental note that all three planes bent the tabs on the elevator/trim skins rather than fashion riblets....hmmmm
