Tomahawk/ Skipper

I hear you!
I do like the 601, fellow in our EAA group built one and is having a ball
flying her. He bought the quick kit, and he put it together very quick I
might ad, and he'd never built a plane before. Myself I like the here are
the blueprints now have at it option. But I love doing the metal work and
that, like aircraft painting just isn't for everyone. Though the 701 is not
as fast I like that plane as well...just an excellant take it hunting or
fishing airplane. The VP may make some very serious progress very shortly,
I'll let ya know what happens on it.
My drawback on the 701 is from what I have heard it really needs that
high priced Rotax to get the best performance, the 601 I am still waiting to
see how peoples powerplant choices are working for them. Hear good things
with an 0-200. But there are alot of certified airplanes that would be fun
restoration projects..if I could get lucky to find one under a King's ransom
; )

Patrick, if there was ever a human being that should be building a
homebuilt it is you. You should really think about a Zenith 601XL.

Hmmm,
Maybe find one cheap enough..and for me that takes some doing! HAHA The
wing rebuild would be a blast. To bad they don't meet the sport category
: ( . But one day if I have the room , it'd be nice to tinker on one, or
a Skipper as well. My basement shop is getting alittle full now with
Luscombe parts and Volksplane parts! Ahhhh the dilemma of another plane.
I need some land and my own hangar...just have to keep dreaming for
awhile.
