    Has anyone rehabbed a barn-find airplane?

    Update: I've taken a look at it. The body seems to be in decent enough shape, though there are paper wasp nests and mud dauber nests as well under the engine and in the tail boom. The leading edge of the wing is split, barely cracked, but definitely cracked and that runs the length of the...

    Has anyone rehabbed a barn-find airplane?

    Thanks for your responses, everyone! Dana, it does have a n-number, so that's good. I'll verify that it's all in order tonight. I'm going to take a camera and a flashlight and get a take as many pictures as I can. I'll post those here later tonight, but ultimately I'm going to probably do...

    Has anyone rehabbed a barn-find airplane?

    Passengers in high vs low wing

    So I just took my sister, who has flown with me before in C-172's, up in the Grumman Cheetah that I'm a partner on. She felt claustrophobic and cramped, and was rather tense the entire time. She has never felt like that before - and she's flown with me quite a few times. Now, interestingly...

    Organization to teach kids to fly

    bmcj, I have recently started volunteering at an organization that intends to do exactly what you are describing. We received a donation of a Zenith CH-601 and are working on building it every Saturday with a variety of children. Usually around 4-6 show up, though not every week. I'd say...
