Keep going guys and gals. I know right now it seems like it takes forever, I felt the same. Took me 750 hours in one year. But once you are done you get to enjoy things like this:
I flew to Jekyll Island, Georgia for the day. I left at 6:00a.m. and arrived alittle before 9:00a.m. (by car it takes 6 and 1/2 hours from my home in North Georgia). By 9:00 I rented this great little electric car right at the airport. I got it for the day. The airstrip is right on the island. No contol tower. Easy to get to. I spent the day walking the beach, playing tourist, having a great seafood lunch, and went all over the island in the little electric car. At about 4:30 headed back to the airport. Got out of there at 5:00 and home at 8:00p.m. Cleaned up the plane, unpacked, and logged my flight. Got home, a quick sandwich and then slept like a baby. :D :D :D
The Escapade did fantastic. Found out that my butt has a three hour limit in that plane. :roll:
Here is a pic of the airstrip.
Now look at the pic and get back out there to your plane and work! :wink: |

Dennis!
Thanks again for your continued inspiration!
That kind of trip is exactly what I am building
this plane for. My wife & I really like Charleston,
which is about a 3-1/2 hour drive for us.
I can't wait to take my son up, too!
Thanks again!
Johnny C! |

Thanks Johnny,
My wife loves Charleston. Maybe plan that one for the next adventure.
Hope to see your plane soon,
