Just like her sister ship I flew in Alaska years ago.

Default Fisher Classic

Just got this thing going several days ago after about 18 years of setting in the corner. Removed the over sized weed eater motor and installed a Cassler VW. Have about 1 hr on it so far and I think it is out performing the 2-stroke. Fun little 2 place light plane. Has a 400lb useful load.

I just bought a Bonanza in April, It's a great traveling airplane, Quite, comfortable, a great complement to my RV-4. most of my trips are long cross-country so with tip tanks I can make it from Northern Minnesota to New Mexico comfortably without stopping. What conversion do you have that has a 4 blade prop?

It's the Colemill Starfire Conversion http://www.colemill.com/Conversions/Starfire.php

It includes primarily an IO-550 and 4 bladed Hartzell Prop.

I have decided to build an -8 to compliment the family C-170.
[IMG][/IMG]
I don't know how I will afford to have two airplanes when I'm done, and I certainly can't get rid of the 170. I've been riding around in it since I was 3 yrs. old!
I soloed in it on my 16th, and a couple years ago I soloed my son in it on his 16th. It's been a great family hauler.
C'mon POWERBALL!!!!

No kidding Tom, not with that history. Keep the 170 whatever. You are very well equipped aircraft wise with that classic. It truly is a great all around performer.
I trust you will make the 2 airplanes work. Good luck!

Default Second plane

Currently, I have a Piper Cherokee. But, as soon as the RV-7 are airworthy, I will sold it. When the loan for the RV-7 engine and avionic will be paid, I will look for a Hatz Classic or any other open cockpit byplane of the same size...

Default Hatz

Decided I wanted a "low and slow" to complement the -7 with a fresh air cockpit and basic acro ability. Also needed another project that would be relatively low cost and pay as you go and wanted to learn a different set of skills that the RV. Liked the Hatz and drooled over the three parked on the line at Oshkosh this year. Fortunate enough to get a Hatz fuselage weldment donated and just picked up a partially completed set of wings from Barnstormers on Monday which will be my winter project to finish.

Will be used primarily for local fly-ins and flying with my buddies who have Cubs, L2's etc.
