Grounded - Where to get rid of the Building Materials?

Stealth Pilot:

Thanks for your concern. I see you have not changed a bit since I
last saw a post from you.

Hi Folks:

The FAA made it official, and I appealed all the way, but the heart
monitor put the stake in the plans I made. I am grounded. I was going
to build a Renegade, Charlie Lasher's Formula V from the 80's.

So, I have to forget building the plane. I have $300.00 of Wicks
chrome-moly 4130 in 6' lengths, of 4 different diameters. Where can I
get this stuff sold?

And I have the plans, if anyone is interested.

The obvious place is OSH at the Areo-Mart. If your not going, maybe someone
in your chapter is. You do belong to a chapter, don't you?

Brother, I am sorry it didn't work out for you. I CAN relate.

I accumulated the materials amd plans to build a Bounsall Super
Prospector, all the tubing (I live right over the hill from
Dillsburg, so tubing was mill-length), spar blanks, and rib material.
But vertigo has become my constant companion. I took the whole works
to the local chapter hanger and donated it all - around $700 worth.
Maybe it will be used to teach some young people to build and fly..

Hi Gang:

Thanks for all the encouragement. I am going to go for the
sailplane/ultralight sailplane fun.

All the metal for the Cassutt/Renegade is on the Barnstormer's
website. There are 2 other ads, one for a set of CASSUTT plans and one
for the plans for a Texas Parasol. The Renegade plans stay with me
cause my wife bought em as a Birthday Present loooong ago 1981.

The GOAT3 Armchair is intriguing, but I think I will just rent the
time. Building is a long way off what with school and all now. So a
2-32 may be the only avenue right now.

I am moving over to the rec.aviation.sailplanes newsgroup for further
fun. See ya'll later!

Are you pacemaker dependent? My first pacemaker (single lead) only
fired about 40% of the time and if it quit I just had an erratic heart
beat that I could feel.

If I had been flying I could have landed at my destination and got
fixed.

I now have a dual lead pacemaker and they burned the inside of my
heart and I am now rated pacemaker dependent.

I am looking at flying gliders as soon as my shoulder operation for
detached rotator cuff heals.

I drive, drink and raise hell so can't see why flying should be any
problem in a glider of any type.

If you are not pacemaker dependent, get your Flight Surgeon to so
state and try to run through again and show while you have one it is
not a life or death situation.

Talk to AOPA and others to see if that approach would sell.

Ask them how many pilots who have pacemakers have crashed. What data
are they basing their turn down on?

A STRONG letter from your Flight Surgeon would help a lot if you can
get him to sign. Along with a copy of your heart rythem.

Best of luck either way you go.
