Joanne and I decided to build a
FlightStar in February 2001.
|
We chose the model IISC powered by a
Rotax 503. We completed it, had it registered as a
two place experimental (N4077L) by June 28, 2001. Not
to shabby ... aye.
|
I mention this because a lot of
people don't realize how quickly a plane like this
can be built. We worked on our plane between 10 and
20 hours per week. And, before you knew it, we were
ready to truck it on down to our local
airport.
|
And then ... and then ... and then it
was time for flight testing
|
The rest of this website is a blow by
blow description of how we got the job done
|
We hope you
enjoy it
