  • Patrol Plans Builder - Colorado

    Hi everybody! I recently picked up Patrol plans set P252 from a friend who has other projects going. I am excited to begin this project, but I know it will be a years-long process for me. I currently own an 1947 Luscombe 8E which I helped restore. I have assisted on a Luscombe 8A restoration project and a Kitfox build as a young man.

    I chose this airplane because of it's design and back country/off-airport capability. I intend on keeping this airplane light and simple and having myself an economical, solo, 180 hp modest mountain machine.

    I look forward to being a member of this community.

      Hi Bill. Sounds like a win win for you and your friend! No parts, just plans?

      I did my primary training right over your field 10 years ago. At the time there were lots of engine out options. Now, not as much.

      Welcome to the club!

        Welcome Bill! My dad and I restored a 47 8E which we flew for 10 years before I forced the sale of it to build our Bearhawk. Wish we hadn’t sold it.

        Good of luck on you Patrol build.

          Thanks, Whee. I really love my Luscombe, but I am on the front range of the Rockies and really want to get in there! At least I'll have something that is fun to fly and won't drain my wallet while I get the Patrol going!
