You're right. I should have thought of that myself. I now have the basic know how of how to check one over and to take care of it especially if it is a composite airplane. Now the question is which one, there are so many to choose from. I guess only I can decide that. Any suggestions would be welcome though. For the rest of you who may have the same questions, which one. Maybe I can help. In my own search, I went out on the web to all the plane sites and compiled a list of 48 different styles of homebuilt aircraft in alphabetical order with pictures on about 80% of them, and specifications. This is all done in Adobe Acrobat Reader so you can do searches and stuff. This is mainly for a someone to find an airplane that looks nice to them, then they can look at the ballpark price and the specs and see if they still like it. Once you find the style you like, go out to the obnoxiously slow web and find one. Or, just use it for reference. I documented every name I could find, even all the ugly high wingers, just so I could have them for reference. If you were like me and didn't know an Eze and a Dragonfly were really called VARIEZE and QUICKIE TRI Q 200. If you didn't know there was a small two seater lowwinger with a canopy like a L320 called a PULSAR 582 1991 for only $23,000 Go to http://www.testelectronics.com/ftp/ and download my file homebuilts.zip Regards, Ed Watsonville CA
