Probably going to start with 6061 T6 .025. I live near KC Mo. would love to do a local pickup. Just thought someone might know of a god source that can be trusted.

Good morning, I recently bought a project. The vertical and horizontals are close to finished. I wanted to try my hand at scratch building. What is a good source for aluminum? I though I would buy spars and difficult pieces from the factory but hoping to build some parts also.

Does a light sport require the same annual inspection as a regular airplane does?

Thanks, I was starting to look for a started kit. I am sure there are allot started but never completed. I am looking for a project since I am getting close to retirement.

Yes, passed my third class medical last week. It was surprising easy. No problem with my blood pressure meds! I had filled out my 8500-8 form over 90 days ago, so I had to redo that, but am good to go.

As for a mission, I just want to go up and see some country and enjoy flying.

Thanks, I think I will take it.

Well, I have postponed my physical for now. My blood pressure started to shoot up again, after 10 yrs, and my doc is trying some new scripts to get it back under control. I have filled out FAA Form 8500-8. Seems like I am along ways off again from getting current.

I don't understand what you mean by being below 1320?

Great info, I really like the zenith 750 because of the metal construction. Maybe there is other planes I should be researching also?

Thanks, waiting for their approval to the group.

Thanks, I guess I have to figure out if I can afford insurance then.

I an a low hour Private pilot and just getting current again after 30yrs off. I was looking at options, has anyone had problems getting insurance after buying a plane? I am a EAA member but not AOPA if that makes a difference.

I was thing about building a zenith 750. I like the aluminum construction. I believe I have those skills, but was concerned over the cost of an engine and instruments might make the project out of reach. Just wondering who has built one and what is the total cost from kit to flight? Thanks

Lots of answers, I can't do the Basic Med as it has been over 10yrs. Thanks for the FAA Form 8500-8. I will start on that. I don't have any DUI problems and I have been on the Blood pressure meds quite a while, so I don't think that will be an issue either.
