I started lessons in high school, soloed when I was 17 and had almost finished my Private licence off when I ran out of money. I never lost interest and finished it up about 5 years ago and got into rebuilding / restoring antique airplanes and homebuilts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot more on the line than vintage cars or sleds if you miss something during the rebuild. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In reality, it sounds worse than it is. Airplanes are simple machines and some types/designs haven’t changed much in over 80 yrs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airplanes are kinda like cars- not any one airplane will really do it all so you have to think about what your goal is, or what you want to do with it. For example: you don’t buy a Honda Civic if you want to haul bags of concrete. Is is going to be a plane for your son to train in right up to a commercial licence? How many seats?

Really don't know at this point. We have at least a year to figure it out. Flying to the cottage lake would be cool. Don't know what I would need to carry the wife's bags.

I took flying lesson when I was 19 and never got back to it. In some cases yes. I had the completely remanufacture the landing gear for a project I’m working on right now. Original parts from 1941 aren’t available and the gear we had was beyond saving. Good thing is, it’s all chromoly tubing and relatively simple. I also did a repair on the bottom of the rudder. Someone had done a brutal hack farmer’s shed type repair and I cut the bottom off and rebuilt it properly. New gear Bottom of old gear leg with bad rust pitting Garbage workmanship on old repair the green part is the one I’m going to splice in finished repair with new rib 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Floatplanes are a whole other ballgame - especially one that will haul more than 2 people, and if you want amphib floats, that’s another ballgame again.
