Hi,

I'm considering the purchase of a share in a Steen Skybolt (homebuilt
biplane). I'd never seen one before and my mechanical experience
consists of peeking under the cowl of rental aircraft (this would be
my first airplane). Needless to say, I need somebody familiar with the
type to have a good look at it. If anybody here is willing to do that,
or know anybody who might be, please drop me a note. The airplane is
based at RHV (San Jose, CA).

Thanks,
Boris

I gather you are NOT a Skybolt pilot.
So, first things first.

Investigate what it takes to land this bird
with an appropriate amount of dual.

Could be this airplane is not for you
regardless of mechanical condition.

Beware of owning a share of any airplane.
The pitfalls can be many.

Do your homework or happiness
could be very fleeting.

BOoby, BOoby, BOoby. Tsk, tsk, tsk. Your reading comprehension
skills appear to be lacking. Nowhere in Boris' post did he ask for a
has-been's opinion on what he was going to do. Since you didn't seem
to understand his simple request I'll type it r e a l s l o w f o
r y o u : he just wanted information on an aircraft, a Skybolt in
particular. Comprende'?

It is comforting to see that you once again pointed out the fact that
you have been flying for fifty years though. That no doubt makes you
the preeminent expert on Skybolts. But you forgot to mention that you
have 9000 hours, claim to have done some crop dusting, know for a fact
that no engine type will ever work other than the ones you espouse and
lastly, but certainly not leastly, you require no Viagra because your
pecker still stands up for Rosy Palm and her five sisters. Now how in
the world do you expect people to respect you if you neglect to
continually remind them the reasons why they should? You are slipping
BOob, better get some rudder in there! Oh, never mind. I forgot you
got most of your time as an Aercoupe driver. Just pretend, okay?
