I can't even claim to be the inspiration for the "kickstand" in book 2, as AA had already written that part prior to the motorcycle accident that claimed my left lower leg.

    Sorry to hear about your leg. My girlfriend has cerebral palsy and walks with crutches. Myself i am only 45 but im in pretty poor shape due to the period of life that i thought i was invincible. LoL
    Im not sure ive came to that part yet in book 2. Im gonna be reading some more here after i cut another news video. My daily routine is a bit behind today.

There was a guy out at the airfield restoring an old Terratorn pretty much from scratch. The first ultralight i flew in and took control of while we were in the air was a custom built CGS Hawk.
        Are you still flying ultralights? I have always had an interest in them, my flight instructor had a number hours in B1RDs and said it was the closest thing to pure flying he has done. I'm an aviation brat myself....dad was a radio operator on B29s during the Korean dustup, became an Air traffic Controller when he got out and flew air ambulance for many years as well as a contract pilot serving the base on Kwajalein.

          Hi there Mike. Many thanks to your dads service! There was a B1RD at the airfield i flew out of too. I never flew it but i had to pull it out of the hangar every time i wanted to fly because the plane i had access to sat behind it. It was a relatively easy plane to move though. It had a 503 Rotax on it. I quit flying some time ago. I had a nightmare with family issues which is why i had to sell my American Aerolites Falcon however i was starting to have dizzy spells and blackouts randomly. Even though there is no medical on FAR103 i grounded myself because of it. Its been several years since ive had an episode however i did get hit with a nasty case of COPD and i get winded really easily so im a bit skittish at the thought of flying. Id love to go flying again someday but i dont think i would do it solo. Id prefer to have someone capable to take over just in case. That being said the two place i trained in has suffered some damage and i dont think my buddy is real interested in fixing it. 2 incidents in 2 consecutive years with a Hirth motor has really made its mark on him. Especially considering he had a near carbon copy issue with Hirth once several years before that.
