Lifessamsara Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 Great work Joe, It's great to see your project come to life! At this rate it will transition from project to being an aircraft sooner than you know Cheers, Bruce. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Limo EZ Posted November 8, 2008 Author Share Posted November 8, 2008 Thanks for the encouragement and it is a long way to go. I took more pics outside but winter is here so I don't think I can do much more painting. The blue is more toward the teal side. Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Steve Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 Joe: The project is really comming along. Your place looks very similar to mine. I have a corn field on my west side too. I also have a John Deere Lawn mower. Did you build the plane in that garage in the picture? You keep it up and you could be flying by spring.

Limo EZ Posted November 8, 2008 Author Share Posted November 8, 2008 Thanks again. Steve yes I built the plane in the garage but had to stop as we removed the roof and put an addition on the house. That set me back one year. Next door neighbor owns the cornfiels and is a John Deere dealer. In the last pic you can see the taxiway to runway 7 at LPR. Now if I can get them to put a gate in the fence. Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Steve Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 Joe: That has got to be pretty darn cool to live that close to the airport and not have to put up with rich snotty neighbors who tell you what you can do on your own place. I bet the pheasant hunting is great in your neck of the woods.

Waiter Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 Hey, If the weather holds up, I'll fly over to Norwalk (ohio) this Saturday (8 Aug) for their Planes and Cars flyin. Probably around 11am. I'll give you the name of the guy that did my vinyl graphics, Like, Real Cheap :-) Waiter Quote F16 performance on a Piper Cub budget LongEZ, 160hp, MT CS Prop, Downdraft cooling, Full retract visit: www.iflyez.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMann Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 I'll give you the name of the guy that did my vinyl graphics, Like, Real Cheap :-) I got lucky in that department. My neighbor two doors down (who is also in my EAA chapter and is building a CX4) does this for a living out of his home based business. All I have to do is dream up a design.

Limo EZ Posted August 6, 2009 Author Share Posted August 6, 2009 Waiter, If you are going to be at Norwalk on Saturday I will stop in. I would love to see your bird. Sunday there is a pancake breakfast at SKY Sandusky if you want to burn some more holes in the sky. I think I am done for the most part with painting but I will still need N numbers and such Thanks Joe Berki Limo EZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waiter Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 I wasn't aware of the SKY one. The only problem I have with SKY is the need to back taxi. When it gets busy, the people in the pattern won't extend their downwinds and allow planes to backtaxi and take off. ANyway, I may show up there on Sunday. TMann, Can he do multiple color? The guy I have can only cut single color (letters, logos, emblams, etc), but he can't color print on Vinyl. I got all my labels and 6 "Stars/Bars" for $65.

Limo EZ Posted August 6, 2009 Author Share Posted August 6, 2009 Waiter, I know what you mean. I had to wait and be very careful when i flew my daughter in years ago in a Tramahawk. I drive there now as it becomes apparent build or fly but not both. Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
