She is powered by a Lycoming 150 HP engine and a 3 blade prop that produce an average cruise speed of about 150 mph..
Super cool...She has a stick in the back seat so the passenger can fly if they desire! All aircraft (even the airliner you fly on) are required to perform a weight and balance evaluation before every flight. In this RV the limit for back seat person to a maximum of 180lb.
Your flight will be approximately 30 minutes. To be scheduled for take off on a nice weather day from Pearson Field and fly towards Vancouver Lake and then up the Columbia towards Kelso.

Fly over your own neighborhood and take a picture?
Up, Up and Away!!!
