PFFFFF yeah! I'll just tare down the old one and build a new one.


that would **** off my neighbors to no end LOL...

 

lol, still putting in the 50x60 garage for my toys.

 

An ol timer buddy of mine built a replica piper cub he flew during WW2,he had to write experimental on it and it now hangs in the wolfboro,NH war museum.I couldn't imagine flying something so cheesey built with angle iron and painted canvas,he still has a couple of old millitary jeeps all painted up and uses them in the parades.

 

dude those things are so friggin reliable, you blow one good chest full of air at the front of it and the tail will lift! LOL.

Ultrlites are more rickety than the old pipercubs.

 

He had a runway through his field and gave up flying after one of his old timer buddies crashed in it and they hid it from the FAA,he had a hanger and long buildings almost like walking onto an old military base,mess hall includedthey would have fly ins once a month and have breakfast and bullsh*t about war stories

 

thats coo! really cool!

when I said I wanted a stearman, my good friends brother owns two of them and he lives in washington. His back yard is just like you describe it here. Except hes in the middle ofno where! Just mountains and a log cabin and two big hangers.

 

My friend lou's place is kinda out of the way and he has two huge orange ***** attached from the power line to show a runway.He still has quite a few old props that are worth big $$ to collectors.It is cool to see the few that are left all dressed in uniform riding in the old jeeps with the flathead motors just purring.I want to say they are M21a jeeps.

 

One of my professors has his own strip, and from what I hear its an experience, I think it has a turn at one end, lol. I wouldnt mind an old cub, great bushplane. Man I need a tailwheel endorsement Flew a Decathlon for my spin training in CFI, had to do it in the back seat since I'm not endorsed,but it was still fun. I had to trim the plane with my foot

 

Bump for getting the xmas tree tonight![sm=smiley14.gif]

A decathlon you say eh? trimming it with the foot too? now thats flying proficiency!
Just for that I would have endorsed you![sm=lol.gif]

 

Yeah when your in the back seat your feet are at the pilot's kneesthrottle is on the left side with trim below it. Rear seat has stick ruuder and throttle but no mix prop or trim so i had to use my left foot for trim and let the instructor play with prop and mix, man that was a fun flight. Nothing like hanging upside down falling out of the sky and your instructor calmly says, you didnt do that hammerhead right, how about we recover now?
