cazza Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Hi Pete, Welcome to the forum. What are you building and what are you flying? I learned on a Gazelle, had a Gazelle for a while (I loved that plane), then sold her and bought a J160. I have had her for one year, put 190 hours on her and just arrived home after a trip to the Gulf of Carpentaria in it. Am having a great time flying.

farri Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Pete.Bess, I built my own aircraft,from scratch,back in the mid eighties. I used to sit up there and couldn`t believe the magic of what I`d done. There`s nothing like it. Cheers, Frank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilot Pete Posted July 27, 2008 Author Share Posted July 27, 2008 Thanks all for the welcome. I am thinking of building a Jodell D18 and using a vw engine for a power plant. A two seater is a must have as the wife will be flying with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
