My intended goal is to build fly sell intill I can afford a nice plane.im not rich but I’m hoping I can pull it off with hard work and determination.

Yes I understand that.im just going with what options are avalable to me right now.im trying to get into flying with a average budget I’m hoping I can do it without getting a 9 to 5 town job.i have all winter to finish the himax and go to flight school or reasurch my options.i will post some picture...

I think my statement has been misunderstood I’ve been around Lisa aircrafts and pilots I have access to a two seat Cherokee 140 for my training but like any thing I think thears a lot more to learn after flight school.the himax is for after all that.a plane to fly while I build my bush plane.if you ...

Do you still have that 396 for sale

Thank you experience is what I’m looking for.i did not think about not being able to learn in a single seat plane.but for the price I got on the plane I could not have found a way to get my hands on a plane for less.i can always sell it.eavin if I loos money the experience is worth it to me?no I’m n...

Thank you ive never used a forum before.i apreachate the advise.

I’m getting ready to go to ground school I’ve always wanted to fly but never new you could get into it by building your own plane.i work for a older gentleman who has built planes and has a pilots license.i jumped on the himax because I could afford it but not my intended plane.i want to do this the...

I haven’t got that far yet.i got such a good deal I thought if nothing els i would finish building it and sell it.

I recently bought a “Himax” it was a good deal but not shure if it’s a good beginner plane I was hoping to learn to fly the himax while I build a ch701 or Kitfox would I be better of to sell the himax

Well I was reading the Viking engines are number one for light sport aircraft.but the money I’d be saving on the 701 vas the Kitfox would let me afford a better engin I want to purchase the most reliable.also thoughts on mountain turbulence would a 100 horse be enough power to handl it safely in the...

Thanks the more I reasurch the more i think the 701.any thoughts on build difficulties one versus the other I’ve looked it up but thears not much other than thear both easy.

Hey guys I’m looking at a zenith stol Ch 701 I was set on a Kitfox s7 sti but the finished price is a bit much I no it’s worth it my question is for flying in the back country of Montana if I will be sacrificing performance on the much more reasonable 701.i no I want stall performance.so many nice p...

Would it be safer to sell the Himax and start with the Kitfox?I’m working on getting my license.i started looking at the zenith stol ch 701 they are cheaper than the Kitfox but how much will the trike style landing gear prohibit your bush landing capabilities? I live in the mountains of mt and mostl...

Thank you all for the helpful info.the plain I bought is 95% compleat with the 45 horse zenoha unfired and duel 5 gal gas tanks.how is zenoha moters or should I replace it with something more reliable my goal is to build a Kitfox s7 sti in the future so don’t want to put a lot of money in the himax....
