Seems to me that, last year I posted something regarding me. Probably wrong, right ?
I am 73, retired, married, 4 children, one is with the French Air Force on KC 135 flying tanker.
After having made a Cozy in the Wash. D.C., brought it back home in France , flying her for 10 years, I was obliged to sell her & go to Ultra light, due to fibrillation problems going to be under AKV surveillance. The reazon why I bought a Jabiru 450 kit, authorized to fly, in my case, in 2002.
Very glad of making & using this small flying machine, however for the moment, I don't fly often, more, enough as I fell down into a swimming pool last march & today I just walk correctly . So, to make my mind busy I am in touch with beekeeping people, making my hives, & making too a prop for my Jab following Garth Hess plans. What else in my head : making a stall warning system more conventionnal than the one in use, not functionning correctly in my case. I add VGs just 10 cm in front of my ailerons to improve their efficiency & it works well. Samewise in front of the rudder ( I have the small one on my Jab ), the brakes lines are completely embedded in the legs fairings, like on the Cozy & using standard US connections, fuel pump is near the airfilter, just underneath.After having pbs with the dipole antenna, I have made mine, a ground plane installed on & in the right wing/ body fairing,(more info can be forwarded). I use Bose X headset ( superb) & it goes quite well. 270 flight hours from 1st flight in 2004
