Hi, not sure I can claim new member because I've been registered in the past (davedpilot). Apparently my profile became corrupt so just been lurking with the popcorn. I decided to re-register and reintroduce myself
in case ya'll forgot already.
I'm a Tool & Die maker by trade, 25 years ago I learned CAD to develop tools, gauges and fixtures in automotive. Now I work for different companies/individuals that have an idea, but they don't know how to Design For
Manufacture and Assembly (DFMA) It's been good to me mon!
Got my private in '95 in an under powered BE77, lot's of fun to fly though. Checked out in C172, C150, PA28 and PA38, flew a Grob off a mountain top in Germany and acquired the rights to fly at Lookout Mountain in GA.
All was going fine until I developed a cardio myopathy. Still trying to work the bugs out of that.
Can't say I won't fly again, but it's not looking too good... bummer.
I'm interested in low and slow... like maybe a metal, low wing, based on the VP1 with an O-100 on the nose, or Pixie like with same.
I'm close to retiring and have a plan to save the world with my super solarcellwind technology.
Below is my deceased brother Joe and his gorgeous C172 N172J, spent a lot of time in that one. Wish I could have kept it.
