I'm New Here
Hello All,
My name is Phil and I am a student at Utah State University in their aviation maintenance management program. A friend of mine provided me with a Mustang Aero Midget Mustang (minus the engine) that he and his father built. An A&P somehow crash it just a few yards off the runway and it has minor wing rib and nacelle damage.
Our school has an old RV-6 kit sitting around and I got approval from my instructor to start wrenching on it. The rudder and elevators have been completed and the two wings are near completion. I have 3 sets of mix matched plans that were lying around and am basically wanting to work on this plane before moving on to my Midget so that I can get some experience and make the mistakes on someone else's plane.
I am not currently a pilot but want to in the next 3-5 years. My school offers a summer program for $7,500 to get your private in glass cockpit DA-40's. I am thinking that is a good deal and would get me some good experience. I want to go as far as IFR rating for insurance/experience purposes. If any of you can pass some help my way on where to start on either of these two kits I can work on that would be awesome. I am only in my second semester of the maintenance program so I don't know a ton yet. Thanks. Phil
