I have been lurking for a while and thinking pretty hard about building a plane.
I have been back and forth on either a quick cross country plane to a slow mountain plane. I think I have decided that a quick cross country plane will get used more.
I am just now starting to look around at planes in progress and hopefully some that are finished.
Been thinking about either a -7a or -8a. Maybe -9a. Other than the wing on the 9, slower overall, smaller engine, less fuel, there is really no different from the 7 correct?
The plane will be use mostly to fly from Denver to Chicago and St Louis. Possibly longer trips when needed.
I will probably build from a standard kit as I am in no hurry to get done and it will keep me occupied during my downtime (which can be a lot sometimes).
Any guidance is appreciated. Also I am willing to be free labor to builders in progress if anyone would like some help.
I am located in Parker, Colorado
