Working together to build and fly an RV- 12
BY JIM BUSHA
IT’S NO SECRET THAT the main ingredient to a successful aircraft
partnership is compatibility. If you don’t share interests with
your partner, then the only guarantees you have are ones filled
with frustration and loneliness. Building and owning an airplane with someone else is probably the closest thing to a
marriage: Some last a blissful eternity, while others are doomed
from the start. If you are searching for a building buddy and
want to hear how two friends made it appear easy, then look no
further than recent RV- 12 co-builders and owners Jim Olson,
EAA 399021, and Benjamin Bradley, EAA 580750.
