querk1a1 Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 Hey Guys, It has been a few months since I posted last on anything (but a daily reader). I am going to do my Solo tomorrow in my '76 Pa28-140. I just finished refurbishing the interior and insulation and flew her twice this weekend after a 45 day down time to fis her up. I am very excited about getting my solo out of the way. I did 8 TNG today with winds 18G22knts, at least they were down the pipe mostly. My Cozy project has not had any significant progress in over a year, sadly, I see my completion goal slipping away...with in the next 42 months. So I am considering switching to an Aerocanard SX, still FG but at least with the time I have lost to deplyments to Iraq (2) and to Afghanistan and now one coming up to the Pacific I am afraid that it will just drag on for years longer than I want. What are your thoughts on switching....right now it seems that I have more money (or will) than I do time, how much work is there still to do with a kit Aero? I have not made up my mind but I am seriously considering it. -Jonathan #1052, 816 Ch 6.......Still N6258J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spodman Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 Good luck with the solo! Don't have an opinion on the other though...

rickh Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 I am going to do my Solo tomorrow in my '76 Pa28-140.Lemme know what it's like, I read I'm supposed to do this eventually. I am afraid that it [my build] will just drag on for years longer than I want. What are your thoughts on switching. Be glad you didn't turn 54 like I just did. Couple three four more years of build, then I'll be as old as... umm... I'll be old[er]. Like I've heard a dozen times before, "wish I'd started sooner". If you want to fly a canard, buy one (partial or complete). Mod to suit if needed. If you like to build, better get with it. Before you turn 54 What are you going to do after you get your PPL, other than staying current? Rick Quote Rick Hall; MK-IV plans #1477; cozy.zggtr.org Build status: 1-7, bits of 8-9, 10, 14 done!
