This is the "detail"
page for N15LW, listed with other RV9s on the "Flying
RV9s" page. N15LW - Larry Westbrook
N15LW began as kit 90016 and first flew in November of 2001. Mr. John Henly flew his RV-6 from Florida to give Larry some transition training before the first flight, which was uneventful "except for the landing which was a pretty good splat!" After 200 hrs in the first year, Larry is now proud to be making plenty of good landings (when he's by himself, although nobody believes him). Powered by a new 0-320 and fixed pitch prop from Vans, the speeds are very close to Vans numbers. The all-electric panel was done by Avionics Systems. http://www.avionikits.com Gauges are Vans' except for the oil temp. Larry would like to thank Bobby Linch, Charles Henson, and Vince Potts (building a 7A) for all of their help. The only thing he'd do differently would be to go with the Quick-build to get in the air sooner.
