WW2 planes
« on: March 28, 2003, 11:40:09 PM »
Jsut bought a business that will give me  alot a month in 2 years time.

One of my goals in real life is to own and fly my own Spit and Stang.

figure I will be able to buy both of them in 10 years.

Thanks

Don't know what tickets you'd need in Australia... but congrats!

Spit has a small cockpit. Start eating lite.  ;)

I bet the price is cheap compared to stalling and maintenance.

From my recollection, you would need the regular private pilots license, plus endorsements for tail-draggers, and for complex aircraft (retractable gear and/or more than 200 horsepower).  I believe flight above 18,000 feet, or in any non-visual flight rules conditions, requires an instrument rating as well.  I question whether you might be able get the more restricted "recreational" pilots license and still get the extra endorsements to fly these high powered craft.

looking at the updated Supermarine brings to mind those midget sporting aircraft that exceed 300 mph with smallish engines.  Perhaps a Thunder-mustang (http://www.thundermustang.com/)
might provide a similar experience at much less cost.

How about a donation to the "Golfer trying to afford a Grumman Yankee" Fund.

You can add whatever endorsements you qualify for on your license.

can spits and stangs be reconstructed by making it all made out of compostites and add it with electronic fuel-injection systems on the engines so that you save more fuel?
