I am currently building a Series 7 and started wondering if there are any other builders located near Salt Lake City, Utah.  Then I started wondering what the general demographic of our group looked like (age wise).  I figured this would be a fun topic and I may get to now some of you better by putting it out there.  



I will start with myself...I am 30 and have owned a Model III and am currently building a Series 7 (almost finished with the Fuse).



If there are any of you that are located near Salt Lake City, Utah let me know, I wouldn't mind some moral support/encouragement while building.

Darin,



This is Dave S from Minnesnowta - my model 7 has its training wheel on the 

front to hold up a Rotax 912ULS. I am figuring 3200 hours TBO on the Rotax 

'cuz I paid for it twice.



Oh - that's right - looking for cronological data. Let's put it this way -  

the reason I am working so diligently to get mine done is so I will be able 

to use it before I gain so much maturity that all I can do is teach a class 

on how to read bullalo chips up on the res'.  Just multiply your cumulative 

experience on this planet by two.... there you have it. 



Dave S

This is a great list, isn't it?  I see that most of us are close to the 60 year young mark.  Tell you the honest truth, I hope to still be flying when I am 60 (heart disease runs in the family).  I guess I may be one of the youngest on the list.



Steve, 



You are in Huntsville?  That is only about 30 minutes from me, I am in Kaysville.  Where are you based...Morgan or Ogden?  Are you building or flying?  Feel free to reply off list if you want to.

Darin,

I am in Idaho Falls, but am dating a professor from Weber state. (a girl)

She lives in Morgan, and I have been flying my speedster into the Morgan

county airstrip. Cool place, narrow canyon, next to airspace, nasty winds,

short approach,one way or so they say.  I love it..will be there on the

coming holiday , holler if you want visitors.
