Update from Stephanie
“My RV-6 is very basic and turns 20 this year, with about 1300 hours on it, and it still looks and flies great. BTW, I’m building an amphibian – pic attached – also a taildragger. Hopefully it will fly this spring, and I hope to take it to Oshkosh and land in and camp at the lake. Won’t be doing the ARC this summer – it’s a pretty expensive proposition! Maybe in the next few years I’ll get a chance.  Stephanie”

Stephanie Wells is from Colorado and is based at Rocky Mountain Metro Airport (KBJC).
I got your link from Gail Schipper, up in Longmont, CO. We definitely do have some lady taildragger pilots here in Colorado.  I have an RV-6, a perfectly fast aerobatic sweet-flying airplane. (But I did not build it – I am the 4th owner).  I have a total of about 850 tailwheel hours, including PIC in Luscombes (8A and 8E), Citabria, Decathlon, Scout, CE-170, Champ, Pawnee, Cassutt, Stephens Akro, and Smith Miniplane. Gotten a chance to fly more fun stuff like a Pitts and Stearman.  Wish List: DC-3, Beaver, P-51. (sigh…)
RV lovers, eat your hearts out!

Posted at 20:59h, 20 MarchHi Stephanie. You’re not too far away…what a relief. I feel lost in a sea of men up here. Not that there’s anything wrong with them, but I sure crave female companionship in flying sometimes. I have one good friend who will ride with me anytime she can (she’s a 6th grade science teacher), but that’s about it. I have a friend in Dubois, WY that has an RV6. Boy do I like to hop in with him for a ride!

Great photos. Would love to come out and fly the amphib when you finish. Retirement surely suits you! Best of luck.
