While looking for images for my RV-12 post the other day, I came across the smile-worthy video below. It was put up on YouTube by an RV-7 owner who treated his little brother to a flight, with some aerobatics thrown in for grins, and what a delight to see the sheer joy on the little guy’s face: no matter what maneuver his big brother pulled in that RV, as soon as he felt the g-load change, he started laughing. My guess is this is one of those future pilots who will be soloing and getting his ticket at the earliest possible age.

FYI, technically speaking the RV-7 is an Experimental-Amateur Built aircraft and performs way beyond the LSA envelope. But hey…fun flying is fun flying. *** Enjoy!
