Hi everyone,
My name is Morgan Wadsworth and I'm from the frigid city of Regina, Saskatchewan. Usual story...love airplanes, love building things so the two go together. I have looked at every website, bought thousands of dollars worth of magazines (ok maybe hundreds of dollars) and have chatted with a lot of people. I've been thinking about building an airplane for so long that I've gone through a variety of major life events...moved out of parents house when I was 18 (I wanted a Mustang II), Got a career when I was 22 (I wanted a Sea Wind), Got Married at 30 (I wanted Velocity RG), Have two young kids ( I want a Bearhawk).
I spend a lot of time outdoors (kayaking, mountain biking, hiking, etc.), so realistically I want a plane that can get me across Canada (into the U.S) and haul some gear and some people at a decent speed. The Bearhawk fits that mission.
My wife resigned from a teaching position to stay at home with our children and now that our youngest son will be off to school next year my wife is looking to start her career again. Which I'm hoping translates to being able to purchase a kit soon. I'm very much leaning towards a Quick Build kit. I love building, but would rather get to flying sooner.
I'm a student pilot that hasn't flown for a while and would be ok building a kit and training in a 4 place airplane as my project nears completion so that I could transition in to training into my future Bearhawk when the time comes. A local guy did that exact thing while building a Glastar Sportsman and he said it was great to be finishing up an airplane and learning to fly that airplane.
Really looking forward to participating here (mostly listening for a while) so that I can gain some insight in to things like how to start, tools to have and i'm hoping a lot of "what not to do" information.
Cheers
