Norm's Flying Boat UL Flight Test Progress

[choppergirl]

Choppergirl, that's who

You create your dream because you want your dream. Not for any other reason. So don't let any other reason stop you. How few people were building ultralights when Santos Dumont built his Demoiselle? How few saw any future in it at all?

Don't die with your music still in you...



Repeat after me: the roaring 80's Golden Age of Ultralights was probably pretty great. But I can singlehandedly make today even better. We have the technology, we can rebuild her. I *am* the Golden Age of Ultralights! Say it with me! I *am* the Golden Age of Ultralights!

I'll probably die myself before finishing my plane, from serious health problems. I want to fly under my own power before that happens. In a battle where I know I am ultimately going to lose the war, that is my win scenario. Therefore, I'm going down fighting to the end; it's the warrior way. Ad finem! To the end. Morituri te salutant!

My family also doesn't believe I can do it. I know my family thinks I'm crazy. But I keep getting all the major parts I need, one by one by one... and every time I scavenge a new piece, I show them, and still they roll their eyes at me. It's just par for the course.

So grab my hand and I'll lift you back in the boat, old man. Quitting ain't our style. We're the hardcore dreamers, warriors, fabricators, loners, mad scientists, and hopefully... pilots. The hardest road is the best road. Your welcome in my motley rag tag cheap skate Flying Circus any old time.
