Kent Ashton Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 There were not many kits and they don't come up very often, There was a flying one advertised recently for over $150,000.

I have found that once the build is in motion, the challenge is to keep it in motion. Left unchecked, flat surfaces in a workshop are magnets for non-building stuff. For Tim and anyone else, do you have any pointers to share about keeping long-term focus? Here's my list: Get in the shop and do something every day, even if only for 15 minutes. To be continued...

I forgot that my current shop is now my 3rd from when I started (along with my 3rd home). Very disruptive and taxing. Every time you move you have a whole world of more "honey dos" and "must do" before you get to work on your hobbies.

I am actually thinking about starting it in the hanger it will be completed in to avoid possible moves. I know that if you are home you are more likely to work on it, but tons of space and less distraction may be more my preference. Plus No good workspace at home, so you have to play your hand. 21 minutes ago, Jon Matcho said: I totally agree!

Kent Ashton Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 Hello Stephan. I used to fly out of Spangdahlem and flew by your airport occasionally. The Mosel was always interesting. That’s a Bucher, right? I always liked that design. Quote -KentCozy IV N13AM-750 hrs, Long-EZ-85 hrs and sold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
observer58 Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 Hello Kent ! Thanks for your mail . Yes , Spangdahlem is not so far .If you fly next time to EDRK , maybe after Corona , you can phone me one hour earlier . Than we can meet us on the airfield , and I can show you my aluminium aircraft , and we could fly a round ??? The biplane isnt a Bücker . It is a plan for selfbuilders from Mr. Michael Platzer , named KIEBITZ . It is very popular in Germany . I have build three of this . The last you see on the pic . Do you have your Long EZ here in Germany ??? How long already you stay in Spangdahlem ? with your family ? For the moment best regards from the Mosel , Stephan .

I really enjoyed my couple of years in the Eifel and going to the winefests. It's a beautiful part of Germany. I just read an article in the Wall Street Journal a few days ago about Americans buying small wineries along the Mosel. I don't think they know how steep those vineyards are! https://www.wsj.com/articles/germanys-moselle-region-is-ripe-with-deals-on-vineyard-estates-11607020526 The Kiebitz is a nice looking airplane https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Platzer_Kiebitz Quote -KentCozy IV N13AM-750 hrs, Long-EZ-85 hrs and sold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
