Default Airplanes

I was going through my Photobucket albums tonight and ran across a couple pictures of airplanes we've built.

We spent from 2000-2008 working with a gentleman restoring old Supercubs, various other tube & fabric planes and building new Challenger ultralights like the one pictured here. This one was fully decked out with amphibious floats & water cooled Rotax engine. The other is one of the cubs we restored.

Suzanne was the fabric & paint specialist and did incredible work. She earned quite a reputation for finicky and precise work.

If I can find more pics, I'll add them. We did quite a few planes as well as ran a flight school.
I enjoyed the heck out of flying. Haven't been up in a couple years though. We had a little Cherokee that we flew to see family when the kids were small enough to fit in the back seats. Fun times.
