Bill Grants Pass, Oregon Just two things slowin' me down ... Time and ... Let's see. What was the other. Oh! Yeah! Money. I think if I had the resources I would build the Traveler. That's a more proven design. Though I sure would think long and hard about putting the 2+2 wing on it. Reg | | | | Joined: Jan 2004 Posts: 13,969 Member/10,000+ posts! | Member/10,000+ posts!

Most of us were curious how much the drag was affected with the extra wings and struts? And, it sure looked like a real pain getting into, and out of. But it was an eye catcher.
I wonder if it ever got sold? It was listed for a long time.

Maybe, I'll need to put myself through A&P school first. This may take a long time, and lot's of money. Surely, there must be better plane deals out there..............  | | | | Joined: Jan 2004 Posts: 13,969 Member/10,000+ posts! | Member/10,000+ posts!

Patience. 72G presented itself just at the right time. 9ED showed up just as we needed it. The next airplane will show up when it's time also. Both of our airplanes have found us. We didn't find them. Maybe today. Maybe next week, next month, next year. It will happen.

But when I flew it, it wasn't in as good a shape as it is now. But, I did get to enjoy Justina's pancakes and slept on a luxurious Alpaca fur blanket!!!!
