Building and Flying Info / Your Profession / Other Background Info
Completed my 601XL after 7-1/2 year build. FAA issued the SAIB so "rebuilt" plane and engine. After about 100 hours did a really sloppy landing and needed to rebuild front of aircraft. Made some comfort changes and put more power in the engine with new piston and electronic ignition.

Looking for another plane to build and then retire and enjoy life.

    Believe me, I understand the "no time" problem.  I get "some" weekends to work on the plane.  Still working long hours at work + they have me travelling a bit.  At least I'm not on 3rd shift anymore.  I did 18 weeks of that, and it was definatelyt taking the wind out of my sails.  

    Good luck on the engine rebuild.  Let me know how it comes out.

    Thanks Glenn.  I have a jabiru 3300 which is lighter than the 0200 so it should be even better. Gordon.

    Beautiful family and plane. You are truly blessed. Glad to know you now Glenn. Hope your new engine is front of you very soon in the air again. Sunrise / Sunset picture, priceless.
