Whitetail Deer FarmerFor anyone interested in flying, here is a very
economical way to do so.
Scratch building yourself an airplane is an exciting and rewarding project, especially when the time comes to take that first flight! There's just nothing like taking off for the first time, climbing above the fields and trees, in a plane that you crafted with your own hands. The time spent pouring over the plans and fashioning the many parts, seems a small price to pay for such a thrill!
The Ultralight flier envies the Cessna flier.
The Cessna flier envies the twin engine Beechcraft flier and etc. all
the way up to the jumbo jet pilot...
Whoever sees the Ultralight pilot and envies him thinks.......

Quotes I live by
Never argue with an idiot. He'll drag you down to his level and beat you
with experience.
Either, Lead - Follow; or get the hell out of my way.
Being on the tightrope is living; Everything else is waiting.
Always do right. This will gratify some and astonish the rest.
Being an egotistical a--hole, I DO IT MY WAY (after I get
my wife's permission).
(Written by Wayne Pederson. If it fits, you can quote me)
No bird soars too high if he soars with his own wings.
MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND YOURS
