    I've put some hours in with a J-3 when I was a kid. Flew with my brother. We used to joke about the cars below us going faster than we were. Lol. Enjoyed the flight...now get to work on those projects...lol. BTW...the one wheelers are awesome!

    Why can’t airplanes maintain themselves? And fuel themselves? Come on. I just want to fly.

      2-3 hours of maintenance for every 1 hour of flying. Good rule of thumb for these things haha
