Hello Group ,first thanks for the comments/advise on my first post . At that time I had planed to buy a kit and pick it up at the factory in my travel trailer .I have since decided to plans build the 601XL ,this may be optimistic thinking for a 72 year old .However as far as I know I have no medical problems that I am aware of that would hinder my completion .I got the plans a couple of weeks ago and I have completed the wood forms for the tail section ,flaps and ailerons .Today I built my 4' X 12' table and made my first aluminum order from Aircraft Spruce for about half of the airframe .As I said in my earlier post I have been flying a Cont. 0200 powered Soneria for the past 29 years along with my trusty Tripacer .I read every post on this site and I am very pleased to belong to such a great group ,so please bear with me if some of my questions seem too simple . Wade Jones ,Plans # 6464 , South Texas

Sounds like you are in a good situation for building. Rayne is 165 miles from the Galveston landing of the Bolivar ferry on a bearing of about 64 degrees.

Hi Wade,
My hats off to YOU. I am 75 years old and still fly and build a lot! I built an Avid Aerobat when I was 72. Had a Jabiru 2200 and was a real kick to fly once I got accustomed to the quickness of the response of the controls. My first snap roll with it was by accident. on I really enjoyed aerobatics until I would make myself feel queezy which did not take long. I have a 601HD now that had a Revmaster when I bought it. Replaced it with a zero time Lycoming 0235. It makes twice as much noise and burns twice as much gas. Canopy blew off the other day and I am just about thru with the addition of a front opening canopy. Sorry if I bored you Wade, just wanted you to know that there was other "well seasoned" folks out here having fun.
See you later,
John
