For the last 6 months I’ve been training for my Instrument Rating off and on. I had been signed off by my CFII to take the practical for a couple weeks. Weather and scheduling issues prevented me from doing the flying portion. Yesterday finally worked out and I passed my checkride. It has taken away [...]
The new plane factory is getting closer to reality. The closing date has been set for March 26th. I’m hoping to have everything set back up and the kit out of storage by early to mid May. I can’t wait to get started back up again.
Sorry there hasn’t been any plane building news lately. We are getting settled into our rental. Our hew house started to be built today. They are pouring the foundation. Maybe the house will be done in Feb. and my baby plane can be moved out of storage and into its new maturation site sometime shortly [...]
We’ve made it to Illinois and are moved into our rental until the new house is built. Haven’t been down to storage to see if the kit is doing ok yet. I’m sure that if I see it sitting there, I’ll just be disappointed that I am now close to it, but still can’t resume [...]
We’ve sold the house here in Arizona and will most likely be moving back to Illinois the weekend of Oct. 21st. It will be good to finally be there, but the kit will have to stay in storage until we actually get moved into the new house sometime early 2007. I might be able to [...]
Completed and was signed off for my BFR a couple days ago. It took longer than normal since I hadn’t flown in so long. As mentioned before, not building right now, so might as well get some flying in. I plan on getting my IFR ticket if time allows before we get moved. It just [...]
Recently I’ve been having withdrawal symptoms with the kit being in lllinois and me still in Arizona. I decided to do some flying during my building downtime. I looked at my logbook and realized it had been five years since I’ve flown. I had no idea it had been that long. I’ve kept my medical [...]
The plane has been moved to storage in Illinois. Long trip, but glad it’s done. Obviously won’t be making any progress until we are moved back there. Only good thing is that I can now park my truck in the garage again. One more thing. If you need a truck rental, use Budget instead of [...]
Taking advantage of the long weekend coming up over the 4th of July, I decided to move the kit back to Illinois while I had the chance. Rented a UHaul, got storage reserved back there and got a plane ticket for the trip back here to Phoenix. I was trying to decide if I should [...]
A great big thank you goes out to Tom and Katie for letting me stop by their DVT hanger and say hello. It gave me a chance to see what I’m really on the waiting list for (the hanger) and also just to chat a while about plane “stuff”. Best of all, was the ride [...]
