I replied to Fletcher and told him he'd never go wrong with an Aeronca or a Champ...<G>

Hey Fletcher,

Sounds like things are pretty far along. I can understand your frustration 
at the long wait when the airplane is so close to being finished. Univair is 
still making spar blanks so you should be in good shape there.

I like the idea of a Cub while you're waiting! (Stay away from Champs... 
they put the pilot in a very dangerous position up front. And they're ugly 
to boot. And you can't even open a door in flight, for God's sake.) Low and 
slow Cub sightseeing flights in your area of the world would be a near 
religious experience. And a Cub flight to Columbia would be a major hoot.

Besides, Cub Yellow is a great color for the search and rescue guys. :)

Dan
