Ray, I had seen your name on the list that Steve sent me. You are the closest to me and there is even a chance we’ve met at some time. I work at Warrick Custom Hobbies in Plantation two days a week. It would be great to get together and do some flying. It’s been almost 18 years since I last flew non-turnaround pattern, so I’m not too sure how much I really remember about the correct way to fly the sequence. The main thing is to fly the maneuvers in the correct order with the correct wind direction.

Where do you fly? I fly with the AMPs in south Dade County and I live south of the field, just North of Homestead. Coral Springs in about 70 miles north of me but I’m sure we could come up with some way to get together.

I’m currently flying a turnaround pattern plane but I just received the plans for the Dirty Birdy and Super Kaos. I plan to build the Dirty Birdy for SPA pattern. With any luck I will have a legal SPA plane in the next couple of months. I plan to fly sportsman so I need to have a legal plane.


E-mail me and I’ll give you my phone number so we can talk further.
