Default RE: Good Second Plane

Funny you mention Bridi.......my first plane was a Bridi trainer with a K&B 40 in it. The plane is long gone but I still have the box. My son restored his (also his first plane) and is in the middle of restoring his Chaos.........not a current Chaos but one of the originals. He and I also flew the Sweet Stik's together.......sometimes we'd wait until everyone had left the field and would have contests on how many touch and go's we could do on a tank of fuel or on a windy day just point them into the wind and fly standing still.................good days...........and like you said.........they were all built. I don't understand the "I don't have time to build" attitude. This is a hobby and I built even when I had a young kid and I was working overtime........I just made the time for some quality relaxation. I guess some people live to work..........I used to work to live and was always happier that way.
