Gday,



I know this forum isn't for advertising, but I do need to pass the news that Edy wasn't able to buy the FireFly and trailer that I have for sale.  Both she and Jim have joint problems so that neither can pull the rope starter hard enough.  It's a sad turn of events for both of us, cause they have the spirit and wanted to do it, but physical limitations prevent it.

 



I've been spreading the word that it was as good as sold, and putting off others who expressed interest, so now I just need to let them know that it's still available.

John:

 

Put a battery and an electric starter on the Firefly.  Much better than a pull start anyhow.

 

Hope you can do this.

Putting a starter and battery on a Firefly would likely take it out of Part 103.

How illeage is an aircraft that is a pound or two above a 103 limit?

Gday All,



The FireFly and trailer is now sold.  To Edy and Jim in Florida.

I wish them well with it.

So now the adventure is over.  It was just great!

 Cheers,

JG
