Well I’ve created room in the shop and my kit arrives Friday. Had a demo ride at Oshkosh 2017 and that sealed the deal. Currently I fly a Citabria but looking forward to an airplane with better back country performance. I am a semi-retired mechanical engineer but also own a custom woodworking shop designing and building pipe organs.

Pipe organs? Very cool! I helped my dad “re-wire†one that had been moved without marking any of the plumbing... It was a donation, and came to the school in “disassembled†form... This was a very large organ, with (guessing) something over 200 pipes... I helped him work on it about 2 hours a day (all we could stand without losing our sanity) for an entire summer. We got about halfway through the job before I had to return to school. A year later, it was still a “work in progressâ€, but it was playable - within limits. Crazy project, and I cannot even imagine the patience to build one from scratch. The Patrol build should seem pretty easy to you! Good luck!Jim Parker
