Hi Folks,
just joined the community. I look forward to learning from you and sharing my experience.

i started flying in the late 70's in Fixed wing but ended up in Choppers for almost 25 years even though I got a CPL fixed wing first. I did spend several years flying Beech Super King Air but I got out of commercial aviation 10 years ago and I now want to build my home 2 seater. While I don't miss the Stress of working in the industry I do miss the flying and I'm looking forward to building my own aircraft.

i've been looking around at what's available and to be honest I'm a bit clueless as to what type of aircraft to go for as a first time builder. Your recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Some questions in my mind are, should I start from scratch or should I buy certain parts already pre-assembled.

Thanks for for your comments.

have a great holiday

Franky
