My name is Don, and I'm a new owner of a nicely built low-time Sky Raider (Rotax 503 DCDI). I have been a Private Pilot for many years, with a glider rating, but I have been inactive for the last twenty years or so. I retired from Boeing last June as a structural design engineer (777, 787, 737NG, 777-9), and I moved to Caldwell ID in October. Buying the Sky Raider was one of the first things on my retirement list! My Sky Raider is hangared at Nampa airport (KMAN), and I'm liking the sport airplane culture there very much. Anxious to ask you all a ton of questions on Rotaxes and homebuilts in general.
