  1. Good info. Bill did post some pictures on a FB page but has not offered many details. Not sure how serious he is about selling it? Typical airplane pictures: looks good on outside in pictures (they have to be pretty bad before the pictures show it). Looks like the interior and avionics are a bit dated. Yes the weather on the West Coast has been a bit off this winter. Shadowing a CI would be great. Maybe I could talk Bill into stopping in at O9CL on the way through... Understood about time and money to build vs buying and flying. That is certainly a factor in considering this plane.
  2. Not mentioned... My experience/policy dealing with foam and fiberglass construction is that before paint, at the latest, ALL foam MUST be sealed. Too many primers/paints out there that eat too many foams otherwise.
  3. One of my bucket list items has long been to build and fly my own airplane. To that end I have made a few significant life course adjustments from time to time to make it possible. There are still some scattered clouds but things are opening up. Part of this is deciding what plane? The Long is one of my short list interests. I'm not exactly always conventional and like a good sports car and the Long tickles both of those. I have worked with foam and fiberglass and know that part is entirely doable. But then there is the build vs buy. I find myself considering a particular Long (8HA) that is relatively "in the area" (Northern Ca) and could use some education. Anybody near Grass Valley/Auburn/Folsom/Sacramento area who might be interested in sharing some advice/experience? Thanks in advance.
