Hey Dgfick! As you know I have been running the financial/international side of Pacific Planes. Well, I just can't stay away from flying any longer. It is just to hard being around all of these awesome planes without having one up in the air myself. I fly on the sim about an hour a day and can succesfully land just about anything. I know the field is a little bit different but I am setting up a couple trainers to get out there and start learning. The controls are imbedded in my head by this point. Hopefully I can graduate to a Yak or Extra as quickly as time will let me. I am just looking for some people in the area that I could possibly go out and fly with since Rich is a couple hours away most of the time.

Thats good to hear that you are going to learn how to fly. These things are addictive.

[Pacific Planes]

Parkville is just across town. Would you mind another willing pilot with a set of controls out there with you?

[Pacific Planes]

I know, I am addicted and I havn't even had one up in the air yet. It seems like I spend all of my time with Rich learning about the building process, structural support, mechanicals, loading, etc. Well, it's time to fly!

Your just right down the street. I am in Overland Park and our office is in Lenexa. You should come over to the warehouse sometime Harlley.

What feild do you fly at around here?

Pacific Planes,

I fly at Hillsdale Lake and at Stamm Field at Longview Lake. Where do you fly?

[Pacific Planes]

Harley,

Longview lake is right next to my Brother house and hillsdale lake is close to my house. I think I can see the planes flying at Stamm Field from my brother back portch. I haven't made it up there yet though.

I am just now starting to learn how to fly. I have been flying on Sim. G 3.5 over the winter but I just got a couple trainers and I am ready to take them out. I have all the controls down so I am hoping I am ready to let them rip. I don't know to many Pilots in Kansas City so I was looking for someone to take me out the first couple times and flying bud. Let me know if you are willing.

Well I skipped the trainer process. I met a couple guys out at Shawnee Mission and they thought a trainer was a waste of time after they saw me fly on the sim. My first flight was last week on a foamy jet. It was a blast. Right after I landed that I took a 68 inch Edge 540 for my first real flight and needless to say, I am hooked!!!! I just loaded a 52 inch Yak 54 today with a 56 glow engine. Taking it out this week when I get my transmitter back.
