My next project will be???

You know, trying to decide what plane I will replace my MX with has be a real mixed bag. I have several planes in mind. But, it seems that it all comes down to cost and time to put into one.

My first plane was a Weedhopper. I always seem to gravitate back to it at times because of its simplicity of design. Yet it also incorporates asthetic values that appeal to me as well. Anything with a swept wing or leading edge grabs my attention.

My second plane is another thing because I have it. But the MX is a late eighties model and more expensive to repair than a Weedhopper would be. I also don't think that it is worth what would need to be put into it.

I would love to build a modified Ultracruiser. The mod I'm speaking of is to use a light weight 2-stroke. I'm a heavy man and feel the weight savings and power gain is worth the use of a 2-stroke. Mr. Hummel is sure to disagree with my sentiments, but it would be my plane.

Now, I'm also considering the Hart Aero Sweet Pea. I like the way it is built and the fact that it should even come in UL legal with a four stroke that should be able to handle my weight.

I just have to figure out which one to do!
