Tree top pilot

Well....I think I am calling my attorney in the morning. Stace said last friday,25 November, that I would get a call a week later...possibly on Saturday that he would be leaving to deliver my kit and another plane. He said it had been long enough. I heard nothing all weekend and have not been able to make contact with anyone out there. Not sure what to make of it from here....I have passed up a few really good deals on flying aircraft....now gone. If anyone out in that area knows something...I would appreciate a heads up. And not taking my calls is not good with me.

Yes ! Please have a look see...would be willing to purchase a hardcopy if you are willing to sell one. Good reading I hear...and never can anyone know enough....from one of my professors. Any chance you are into prospecting up there? We like to go out and run the highbanker a little now and then. I can keep a pan in the plane for checking new creek spots while camping in the future. I will hope that they get straightened out and get my plane to me soon.....
Thanks

Well I have ordered a new Ridgerunner near end of August....now paid in full, for over a month, and have been put off now for about a month after being told it was finished {The airframe}. Now the guy that makes the cowls for the company has developed personal health issues and has not finished the cowls on time I have been told. Stace has been a little lax about keeping me informed and I am becoming a bit concerned now. He was supposed to call me yesterday and let me know that he was going to deliver the kit along with another plane or box them up for shipment. It is not looking too good from my end as I see it. I was told I would have the plane by no later than the 25 Oct.....I just want to get started so I can fly it next season...some time. I have been reluctant about posting much information, but I think I have been a model customer....patient and has paid all claims due in full...no questions. Now me wants to get building. I understand that hardships can occur in anything, but in this economic time it is just good business to come through now days. I have even offered to accept the kit without a cowl and work out the difference. Just want to get started you see. I don't want to point fingers at folks or create problems for anyone.

"0" time 503 w/ C box 3:1 gearset...thinking of getting a Powerfin 3 blade...lower inertial mass and a decent reputation. I have given up to the suggestions of the 3 blade prop being smoother and less harsh on the airframe. I like that a lot....like adding life to an airplane.

So how does one come to get one of those CPS catalogs that had all the great info in them?? Really would like to get hold of one.

Now that is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks !!! I will give a call to them soon. Need to see what other oddities I will be in need of......

OK....Don't beat on me too bad. It is after all...a cousin of sorts to most planes here. Ultralight version...with the big tires...everything else is going to be cut in weight. I vacuum bag carbon parts and fabricate a lot of tube structures....so there will be a lot of weight saving items hitting the list of to do's. Just want a minimal plane that meets the UL scene and safe. That is why I chose the ridge runner.The 503 is being purchased at a great bargain insomuch so I can not pass it up.

So the theory of 2 blade props is out.....Hmmmm. Now every one seems to like the 3 blade units ....probably helps to dampen engine harmonics too. Now I am getting a new picture with all this. Flying the Cub or the Champ always seemed to be understood and second nature. But with an aircraft having less enertial energy I want the smoothest power package I can get. At least it would help the airframe live a bit longer. I like the idea of having nearly unreal climb rates as compared to ...say a C-150. Hot days of summer and 2 guys in a 65 horse = no short field performance. Not like an Avid or Kitfox offer anyway. Still wanting to 2 blade the air into submission.....
