    Hey I really appreciate it! I am still a bit of a ways off from actually starting, but it'd be great to have a contact to reach out to. Thanks again!

    I checked out that project, and it definitely looks awesome! If I had skills in aircraft engineering and a better understanding of load and stress points, and maybe a bit more experience, I'd definitely be really interested in that. My one hesitation is my lack of experience. One of the...

    I'll help keep somewhat on topic with the E-AB question, but first I'm not sure about Lufthansa's private strip. There's not a whole lot between Estrella and Buckeye (I fly the backside of the Estrella's a lot to avoid the crazy amount of training aircraft coming out of Chandler and Mesa), but...

    Thanks, I know, right?!?! And I am in Maricopa, AZ! I used to come out here when I was in high school with my dad to work construction (he was a general contractor when I was growing up) and I also thought this one-horse town was creepy and in the middle of nowhere. Then I grew up, got a job...

    I appreciate all the input. I hadn't thought about the Zenith's for this, partially because I always thought they were 2-place only. The Wag-Aero looks pretty interesting as well, a little slow, but definitely interesting. This has definitely been helpful getting some idea of where to go...

    I appreciate the response, and thank you! Those are definitely helpful questions to be answered, and helps me with giving out pertinent information. I am not entirely sure what certified plane would match my mission, but the specs on the Bearhawk mentioned earlier were pretty decent...

    I'm not opposed to that, I just wasn't sure I wanted to go that big. Operating costs seemed to be pretty high on the Moose (at least from what I read, but no first-hand experience there), but maybe the LS-3 makes it not as much as the radial? I'll definitely stay on the lookout for the kit you...

    I'm checking out the specs on a Bearhawk 4-place now. I remember looking at one at one point and deciding not to go that route...I'm not sure why. It's probably a lot easier to find someone who has one around to check out than it would be to find a Yukon. I liked the idea of being an all...

    Hey everyone, I'm pretty new hear, but figured this might be the best place to look for information (and join a community that seems to be quite amazing!). I searched the forums for about an hour and a half (and another 2 hours just rabbit-holing into discussions), but didn't come up with...
