Forgot how great this little plane is, so much fun to fly,and if your looking for a short take of and landing plane this one will take of and land on a dine. Tried it out on a really small strip I"m making and she did just great with room to spare!!!

Hey, nice job on the Air Strip. Looks like one of those off the beaten path strips that's a beehive of activity. Lookin really nice. Where is it located?

About 5 miles East of Victoria int. on one of the Island, the one with the large tower,I call it Victoria Reseach, might make it a weather reseach station.My first airport from scratch. WIP!!!

Great airstrip there Marvin! Looking really nice. Good view over the waterfront.

You can see those really well done wing ribs on Miltons bird. Check the rear view of it, the leading edge with dual ribbing, short and long, on the top surface...

Nice!

I think you mean Dave's bird, not Milton's, Bill.

I love that little aircraft - it regularly gets pulled out of the hangar for quick hops and checking out sceneries... Most definitely one I'd recommend to anyone (although it might be a bit slow for the F-16 and SR-71 fanatics! :d)
