so true, nothing like it. my dream was to build a kit & fly, never made my mind up over around 5 that caught my fancy. Whitman Buttercup was my favorite, lol,

my last doctor visit was for a physical to make sure I could pursue flight training, yes, roughly 23 years ago. today I suspect I have some medical issues that would prohibit me from flying, including headaches & dizziness, so unless sneak in on drivers license, or ultralight, my chances would be very slim, i still sometimes pull off the road to watch small single engine aircraft, so just a dream now. & since my ex walked out and cleaned me out, I live paycheck to paycheck. so no finances to try at present. but cant stop dreams.

to love or hate me, I would use a Corvair engine, not sure if you follow that, but I have followed for 25 years. there are plenty of Corvair engine haters, William Wynne has been produced them for 30? years
