Key Takeaways:

An RV-7 owner took his little brother on an aerobatic flight, with the younger sibling showing immense joy and laughter during g-load changes.
The video captured the sheer delight of the little brother, suggesting he could be a future pilot eager to get his license at the earliest age.
The RV-7 aircraft used in the flight is an Experimental-Amateur Built plane, capable of performance well beyond the Light Sport Aircraft (LSA) envelope.

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!
