    Sorry for the delay... I got a picture

    It isn't the most beautiful flying machine I've ever seen, but it should serve me well for a few years! As far as I can tell, it will be just perfect for where I am right now as a pilot (which would be as a student) and for a good long while in the future. Now all I have to do is get it home...

    After you get your PPL, you will never regret learning to fly in this one.

    Yes, I bought it. It is at my Dad's hangar right now, in CA. Plan is to fly (he'll be PIC since I'm not certificated yet, and I'll be along for the ride) it all the way to eastern KY. I need to find a couple of airstrips that welcome campers somewhere between the two. I'll probably start a thread looking for suggestions for that...

    Hmmm... I'll have to think about that. It's name is Smaug, so the teeth would fit. Apparently the prior owner was a Tolkien fan.

    I just don't know that it would look quite right though...

    Haha, you could go with something like this? But with a name like Smaug, don't think it would work. (Unless you've got really tough skin).
