    Options I’m looking at

    I might have access to a hangar that’s about 10 minutes from the house, so now I’m shopping for an aircraft. I’m looking at the Flight Design airplane or the Cavalon Gyrocopter. I’m torn, my mission is fun with a little bit of XC involved. Does anyone have experience with either of them? Thanks

    Lilium Aviation

    I read the article today on them. Interesting concept and nice first flight. That would be a great commuter vehicle, if it ever gets fully developed. I noticed that the flight was all done remotely, thus, no need for a test pilot.

    Lets talk 5 in a family!

    Any RV'ers in the group (not the airplane)

    So here is the dilemma as I see it: I'm here to solicit your opinions. As a family of 5, that loves to travel. I want to show my kids as much of the USA as possible. With this being the ultimate goal, 3 kids all under 5, I'm leaning more towards an RV, in particular this one...

    What job?

    So I picked out the plane I want. I want a Cessna Mustang jet. Now, what job do I need to support it? I'm working the problem set backwards. :D I will let the plane dictate my mission, because I fly a jet :yes: Or the new jet ranger X, if I decide I want to go the helicopter route. This...

    Gyrocopters

    Anyone here in to them? I've just started looking at them, so far I like what I see. I like the Cavalon, it's a bubble with two propellers :). If anyone has more information about them or owns one, please let me know. I live near San Antonio Texas and would love to do some ultra-light /...

    Icon A5

    That is one nice looking plane. By the time they are done with it, it will cost $300K like a new C172. I like: Folding wings AOA 912 (I hope they go with the is, fuel injected model) Auto Fuel water/land capable opening windows don't like: price probably low useful load, but don't know yet...
