Cool!

Hey I am more then willing to try just about anything once,...even had to
fly on a CH-53D when I was in the Corps....somewhere there should be a law
about helos folding !!!!!
I refer to the "weedwacker" as such, not because I don't think it would
be fun, just that is what the sound reminds me of when one flies by...the
old two stroke thing Who knows, with all the travels I am doing to get
this sport pilot thing done, I may just end up your way one day! Just got
back from Waynesville , Ohio about 5pm.
As more and more people find out about sport pilot, that is the biggest
problem...the general public does not know of it's existance! Instructors
need to advertise! I can't tell you all the emails I get from people asking
about where can they go fly? Who is training sport pilots? Interest is out
there,..just not many places are opening their doors yet. Those that have
are doing very well, from what I can see.
Not saying the training is where your money making is all at. but think
of the money to be made with sport pilot type planes? Maybe build some of
those J3 kittens and such? I don't see myself buying an ultralight, but I
may consider the J3 kitten because it looks like an airplane
The Champ I flew on Saturday I waited for a month to get it booked for me,
just a grass field airport and the Cub and Champ barely got re-fueled and
were off again!!
No tower, no radio just good old grass field flying, and the parking lot was
full of cars. Don't see that at the county airport where I live

Weedwackers eh ?

Sounds like you need an ultralight ride bad !

I like the open, don't care for cross countries, could own most any
plane i wanted, but I like the quicksilver clones i personally build
from scratch,,,,,,,,,

I do enjoy instructing but find the FnAA programs to not produce the
quality of pilot my own haphazzard methods produce.

Not sure, but you've agreed with several of my points,,,,,,,,,

stop by my place for some fun, and if you keep a straight face when we
get back, it's free,,,,,,,,,

and BTW, I don't make my money giving ul lessons at 55 an hour,,,,,,,,
