Hi George,
Great to hear from you.
Yes I have looked at the Vision and it has a lot going for it. However I
would like to be able to purchase pre made parts to speed up the building
process, and not have to build everything myself. I don't think Steve Rahn
is offering any preformed parts for the Vision.
In that respect the Aerocad is great as you can start with the plans
and
then buy the parts you don't want to build yourself. I think the Cozy is
similar to a lesser degree. But it will be 12 months at least before I
committ to a project. This is the learning stage.
I'm in Temora, home of the "Flying Spitfire" NSW.
Regards,
Michael
Michael,
E-mail me privately, so as not to congest the rotary site, and I will tell
you what I'm doing locally.
Premade parts for the Vision are available - it just adds to the cost for us
poor Southerners.
As one Southern gentleman said to me in a broad Southern accent- 'What part
of the East Coast are you from" . I said, "I'm not from the East Coast, I'm
from down south" -"G.d damn - how far south !?' he asked.
True story ! and I've got plenty of them.
