What else can you tell me about the metal wing air bike you mentioned?

Like... what's the overall cost?

In the meantime, I think it makes sense to take another look at that MX I have in storage to see what it *really* takes to get it flying.

Thanks

I was going to get instruction in a T-Bird but my instructor was having problems with the prop pitch which resulted in a couple of short hops around the pattern. He then got out his S-12 and we flew in that for the rest of the afternoon.
