Dream Airplane poll

Dream airplane?

Plans for a thundergull 103 or someone to
make plans avilable for a Davis DA 8 with
full span flaps, retractable leading edges,
and spoilers for roll control.

Lleon has the fuselage. Just wish some-
one would buy it, and then make plans
from it. I'll be first in line to buy.

Barely started KR-2

either X-15,
drawbacks:
only a single-seater
_terrible_ handling characteristics
*damn* that "tow-plane" is expensive
XB-70
one sweet-looking plane, but
an excoriable safety record
and the hanger-expense is a killer.
or SR-71
world's fastest two-seater, but, d*mn,
the way she leaks fuel on the ground.
(there are GA planes that can fly for
an _hour_ or more, on what a BlackBird
on the ground leaks in one *minute*)

And that fuel cost more than the finest aged Whiskey.
Don't forget the upkeep and crew for the refueling plane as well.
They take off on minimum fuel, refuel and then go some where.

I think I'd like to have a fuel hungry Sukoi 37. I think that's the
designation. The one with vectored thrust.

But on a more pratical note the SAI 261?, or the latest model of the
F-33 Bo with a modern panel.

However, after thinking about it for only a short while... My dream
airplane is to get the G-III finished and flying.

Is that a sore subject. I see from their own website, they will be ready
for experimentals in the forth quarter of '04. Not much time left. Oh,
what *century* was that?

I hope you have not given them money yet.

Not a sore subject at all .

I think they'll make it, you think they won't.

I know from personal expierence how incredibly difficult it is to get a
new product to market. I cannot fault them for trying. just the
opposite, I hope, and believe, they will succeed. I look forward to
using this product.

Maybe, fundementaly, there are two type of people in the world.

Those that commend someone for having the Hutzhpa to get off the couch
and try to build a better mouse-trap, wishing them all the sucess in
the world.

And those that talk ill, point fingers, and degradates the
entrepreneurs when it proves to be harder, and simply takes longer,
than expected.

No plane right now, but I did own a Citabria in college and a Vultee
Vibrator after that.

I'd like to own a T-38, but the cost and fuel burn make it impossible.

I'd be interested in a homebuilt with two seats , retractible
conventional gear, and big enough to take a 350 Chevy with a reduction
drive and a ground adjustable three blade prop. I want an airplane not
radically smaller than the BT-13, although with 250-300 hp rather than
the original 450 it's going to have to be lighter. It has to be
aerobatic although not for competition and it should be as good an
instrument platform as a T-34.
