Tom and Jon,
Sorry, was *****-whipped this weeked for once. Life is good.
Tom, I will likely end up with a real stick and rudder plane as you have when all is said and done. I need a real bush plane. Thinking C180 or Maule, or what I really want is a Helio. Tom, My ass once puckered big time leaving Flagstaff. Calculations were spot on, but I never flew a plane with wings huffing and puffing like that for some time.
Jon, you are correct. My wife has given me (probably by design) 12 minutes to do work on my car this weekend after I am done checking the site. No hardship yet, she knows my race schedule.
