John:

One in 5 is the normal number. And I was serious. But there are
other items in my life now that take precedence since the FAA said no.
If I am going to build an aircraft, I would like to be the one to
fly it. Since a single place unit can not be flown by an unlicensed
pilot, legally, then I can not build it. The plane was to be a get away
plane. Alone get away. And I have no interest in building a 2 placer.
I have the pilot license, I have a place I can get into a 172 if I
really want to and ..choke.. with an instructor. So that will not
go away. I just don't feel the need now.

Hi Folks:

The FAA made it official, and I appealed all the way, but the heart
monitor put the stake in the plans I made. I am grounded. I was going
to build a Renegade, Charlie Lasher's Formula V from the 80's.

So, I have to forget building the plane. I have $300.00 of Wicks
chrome-moly 4130 in 6' lengths, of 4 different diameters. Where can I
get this stuff sold?

And I have the plans, if anyone is interested.

You don't need to pass the FAA physical to build an airplane, you don't
need to pass the FAA physical to fly an airplane. You do, however, need
considerable persistence to be the one person in five who completes the
homebuilt aircraft he starts.
