![]() 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 ![]() 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 ![]() Patrick student SPL aircraft structural mech 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,,,,,,,, -- Mark Smith Tri-State Kite Sales 1121 N Locust St Mt Vernon, IN 47620 1-812-838-6351 http://www.trikite.com |
