New builder Express CT
Posted: Mon Aug 08, 2016 8:42 pm
Hello all !
I'd like to introduce myself (and Tammy, the wife) as new owners of a CT kit/project we bought from another builder. Lotsa good work done on it already and, if I may add, by a very meticulous, super nice guy named Jeff. Unfortunately, I have only seen pictures, cuz my wife had to go back to Illinois to pick it up and bring home to Danville,IL, due to my work which has me placed in TX at the moment...
She did attest that as far as she could tell (together with her brother) that the work done so far was high quality! I feel very fortunate to obtain the kit from Jeff and can't wait to meet him in person, which I hope will be in the not so distant future.
Don't you hate when work gets in the way of......well,.. anything?
It'll be, probably, not before december when I get to see the kit in person...sob, sob.
Anywho...Tammy nor me has a pilot's licence at this point, but hopefully that'll change not too long from now.
Damn,...there are a lot of 'hopes' in my future!
Tammy is a genuine American girl and I am a genuine Dutch import, both living in a camper for work with 3 ! Great Pyrenees boys, so lots of hair everywhere except on my head.
Having owned a Hiller 12D heli and learned how to hover that uncooperative puppy through a horrible cfi who sold me the heli, but that's another story, I am not entirely unfamiliar with being a bit of the ground in a machine that doesn't touch the ground. Plus through my work as a crane operator I know how to pull handles too!
At first Tammy wasn't all that thrilled about a plane, but when she found out that a trip to the Bahamas was very much a possibility that mood changed instantly!!! (tip, maybe, for other builders?) Hehheh
Long story short...I can't wait to resume building the CT and I'm sure I'll run into lots of problems, for which I hope, I can possibly make it your problem too!!!
No doubt a lot of questions have already been answered on this and the 'old' forum, but please be a bit patient with me if I ask that proverbial stupid question that has been addressed elsewhere....pweeeeze?
Sooo, my first question...
Would anybody happen to have a pair of wingtips laying around they forgot to mount or so?
I'm in the market..
For now, friendly Dutch greetings,
John and Tammy
