Lots of people really like this book about the boys journey in a PA 11 ........I guess it will be the first one that responds . I will pay the snail mail in the USA ONLY .
I did not like this book at all . It is not that great of story with lots of exaggerations and written poorly lol . Like my writing . The diving at the Bus was enough .
One time I took my Pacer and dove head on with a train and the engineer just waved . I pulled up about 100 feet . Thomas Hargrave was with me . We still
talk about that stupid but fun stuff I used to pull . I am thinking about selling my J-5 . Rebuilt with new spars and leading edges ,trailing edges and bows .
The plane is covered in Air-Tec and restored in 1999 ground up . It has a perfect cowling with the Ercoupe spinner . Most people just use a skull cap . Lots
of more details . 0-200 that has less that 300 hours . It was not a re-man overhaul but the case was sent off . Crankshaft is 020 and 010 on the rods . I
never really looked for sure . The airplane has not flown in about 10 years . I took the engine off the plane and checked the oil pump and cam for rust
and it is very clean . No gouges in the oil pump case . I would trust this engine . I had the carb overhauled with a yellow tag . The airplane has no lights ,
radios or an engine starter . Very light J-5 and it really performs . One time I climbed to a 1000 ft. in about a minute . so..........1000 fpm and I am a big
boy too . It is a three seater and NOT LSA . I can't get a medical and don't qualify for Basic Med either . I will post some pictures and other info .
The plane started life as a Niagara Falls air tour to fly tourists over the Falls . It later would up as a CAP plane and had a rough life . The guy I bought
from didn't have the original logs . The new logs start in 1999 . Univair struts heavy forks . More info coming . Mike
