She has not even finished her training, and wanting to build a kitfox for her next plane. Last night after looking at planes in a flying magazine (like all pilots do) she got this grin on her face. Then it slipped out....."Honey I think I want to build a Carbon Cub SS for my next plane". Light sport, 180hp, 2000ft/min climb....... My reply was.......yes dear.

Username Protected wrote: Hmmm - any way to have her BFF my wife?? Sure.....does your wife like airplanes, and like to hang with the boys more than the wives? She is not into girly things.... Dont know what happened, but my wife is not happy when we leave her behind to do boy things like fly, golf, 4 wheeling, skiing, hiking, camping, fly fishing... it has been an expensive marriage cause every toy or hobby I get into it costs me 2x, and this flying thing is making it more apparent than ever.

My wife is know to hike, ski, camp, kayak, and has even been caught drifting her Pontiac solstice up the hill to our house!
I just can’t get her interested in flying
