The Volksplane is probably easier to build, and the Pober Pixie would
probabl be a better airplane at the end of the day., but that looks to
be a nice little airplane too. I did look at the hummelbirds. Excellent
performance on very little HP and I think they're relatively simple to
build.

My father has a friend who has a Challenger 2 -- he built the hangar,
the grass field, the works.

Problem is he doesn't know how to fly.

So 2-3 times a month in summer out it comes the taxi around on the
grass.

My dad thinks it is the plane for him -- and the promotional website
would support his enthusiasm. I have no experience with, on, in, or
near them so I haven't said much except "well...."
