I have found some that I liked but cost always was the deterrent. It's looks like I may have found what I am looking for finally. I hope to continue to see good things from you. Thank for a certain to be great plane.cloudancerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16892167169720648726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27543764.post-54644077874636139042009-07-09T21:38:25.561-05:002009-07-09T21:38:25.561-05:00I had started on a similar project but got sidetra...I had started on a similar project but got sidetracked. I knew it could be done with the Kitfox/Ridgerunner/SkyRaider design and have a decent engine (Hirth F23 50 hp.would be nice) They are all similar. Vortex Generators will help performance also. There is a carbon fiber manyfacturer close to me that makes sheets, tubes rods etc. Boy, that stuff is expensive!J Byrdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00779649165263787393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27543764.post-40085590591889113232009-07-06T21:45:01.070-05:002009-07-06T21:45:01.070-05:00We haven't installed the transponder yet, but ...We haven't installed the transponder yet, but will later this week.

I was up in the skies this weekend in my P&M Quick FlexWing and always have that little thought for the guys that built it and that I land safely at the end of each flight. But to design and build a flying machine yourself and then have the guts to fly it is fantastic. I have a microlight community website and would love to here more of your endeavours and perhaps post some photos and video of your escapades at http://www.microlightwings.com.<br /><br />Best Wishes<br /><br />DarrenDarren Bardsleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15102871982028834786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27543764.post-4894835234090256742009-07-05T23:17:04.742-05:002009-07-05T23:17:04.742-05:00Congrats on your flight... very exciting indeed.

Maybe one of these days I will be able to afford one of my own. I hope everything goes as planned and Oshkosh will be successful for you and your crew. Good luck and God bless!Shanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04531490852594437971noreply@blogger.com
