Hi All,
I'm a 65 year-old Brit living with my beautiful partner, ex Brit - now a naturalised American, down here in San Carlos, Mexico. Today we closed on the sale of our home and within a week will have closed and moved in to a lovely home up at 5,000 ft in Payson, Az.
Putting to one side the question of me getting permission to enter and live in the US under the fiancée visa scheme, coming to live in Payson means that at last I can get back into flying.
Last flew just a year ago down in Nogales but not seriously since I left the UK in 2008. I have about 1,300 hours with about 500 hours on a Piper Super Cub - the military variant L21B. Absolutely adored that aircraft. Will be joining Payson Aviation as soon as I can to start the process of getting my US licence.
So there's the background.
As we all know an aircraft is always a compromise but I think being based in Payson means that the sort of flying that will thrill me is Piper Cub venturing.
Have been very impressed with the Cubcrafter line and am warming to the idea of owning one, or more likely, setting up a group ownership of one.
So I would be very interested to get a better idea of what owners regard as the pros and cons of each of the models and whether there is a model that offers a much better ownership package.
Regards to all,
Paul H
