I started my aviation hobby in the mountains of Western Wyoming / Northern Utah after a very dear friend introduced me to the flying bug. I have always wanted to build a plane but often thought about low and slow w/ stol. I fell in love with the Zenith 701 but thought I needed speed so I ordered a set of Sonex plans. I could not get away from the 701 so I now ordered their plans / kit and look forward to flying the "sky jeep". My very supporting family is sure to make this a great project.

My plan is the VW engine w/ gear reduction
