Hi Debs

Have loved the pics of pups that you have posted in various threads, but I keep looking at the picture of the aircraft next to the pups below.

I have clicked on the image, and all it does is take me to an empty page.  making an educated guess I am right in thinking it is yours, what is it, and where you you "park" it?

Cheers

It`s the "Flying Banana": my own (much-modified) glass and carbon-fibre 'LongEz' homebuilt, 'canard' (tail-first configuration) sport/air-racer.
It has a 26ft. wingspan, 2 seats and is powered by a 6 cylinder (Lycoming) bi-turbo 300 Hp. engine and does a good impression of a homesick angel!  

I spent 8 years in her construction (built and documented as part of my Ph.D research) and she currently has over 1500+ hours flying-time on her (incl. two Trans-Atlantic hops)

She`s presently stored in a hangar at a nearby airport.....sky-high [size=8](no pun intended)[/size] fuel/insurance and airport landing/hangarage fees have priced me out of the sport-flying hobby; I now can only afford the costs to fly her just enough each year to keep my pilot`s licence current.

Sorry only like products of Rolls Royce and Bristol
