Actually, it was 13 years ago that I built my first panel, and it was a bit of a learning challenge alright. Since then I have replaced my transponder and radio, and did a bit of rewiring, but it still all works. Although a pro avionics guy would shudder if he looked behind my panel.

Since then I built a 2nd plane, but it was a piece of cake compared to the first one.

I lived in Winnipeg for 10 years, and used to hang out in the Kenora, Minaki, Lake of the Woods area for fishing, and other stuff... When are you coming back to Vancouver? I'm sure you are not out there in Kenora as your first choice?

Actually i am here by choice. I love it. Job is great and the no rain is a blessing! Although i cant say the same for Winterpeg!! Dull and gloomy city. Oh and i can get anywhere in 15 min! No chance of that back in Langley!!

Yeah, but I live 3 min from the airport, and can get pretty far in 15 min... We have a cabin at Harrison , and it's only a 30 min flight for me (no snow or ice there). In fact, am heading out there after lunch for some mtn biking.

But you are right, Kenora is a great place if you like outdoors and wilderness all around. Sure don't like the price of avgas there, though. Have passed through there a couple of times.

You're the kind of ADD that I enjoy...

Do it right or don't bother is my mantra!
