June, 2003

In June I got a chance to fly my friend Rob's RV4. We flew from Hillsboro to Redmond over the shoulder of Mt Jefferson. I got to fly for almost 40 minutes.

Rob build this plane from a Van's Aircraft kit in his garage. It is a two place (front/back) plane. It has a cruising speed of just under 200 mph. He now also owns an RV10.

In the "it's a small world" department, the company I [2019: used to ] co-own (QCS) supplies the rivets for these plane kits.
[2019:] And I eventually went to work for Rob at Advanced Flight SystemsAdvanced Flight Systems writing firmware for their first EFIS products.
