Nice photos, Mike. I like Moose and the ultralight. I'm in the
process of building an "Afford-A-Plane" myself. It's kind of a
misnomer because of the current price of aluminum. It's getting to
the point where it's a "Can't-Afford-A-Plane". :-) Where was the old
house and where is the new house? I must have missed that somewhere
or forgot (OFD - Old Fart's Disease).

Why did you pick the A-Plane, Jim?
Just curious.

I picked the A-Plane primarily based on the supposed cost to build
versus the cost of others. I have the fuselage frame built and am
working on the floorboards now. I was going to try to use a Honda
Goldwing 1100cc engine in it but, try as I might, by taking all the
tranny and accessories out, I still couldn't get it down past 135
pounds. Oh well, back to the drawing boards. The A-Plane website,
www.affordaplane.com was also a factor. I liked the looks of it and the
Yahoo group, "Cheap Airplanes 2" has been a big help. I'm hoping to get
it going by next spring so I can take it down on the border and use it
for aerial surveillance with the Minuteman Civil Defense Corp. (the good
ones, not the whackos).
