Patty_Wagstaff Certificates/Ratings/Crew Stations: 1. "RE: Questions" 07-20-06, 17:31z  Fergus I can't answer your questions in 25 words or less. I wrote a book a few years ago called "Fire and Air" which would give you much more detailed answers. Regarding age, I was in my 20s, but I'm wondering why you ask? Are you interested in flying and are you concerned about your own age? Re: the Extra, it's the strongest airplane out there. I love the Pitts, but it's not competitive in international aerobatics which I was involved in for a long time. The Sukhoi and Cap have both had structural failures, so I go with the airplane I trust. Best regards Patty Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

GusRus2288squadron Certificates/Ratings/Crew Stations: 2. "RE: Questions" 07-20-06, 21:10z  Thanx for replying. I asked these questions as i have built a few r/c models of your aircraft and i am in the Air Trainig Corps here in Scotland. My intentions are to go into commercial aviation as a job and then General Aviation. In the Space of 100 Years Aviation has expanded from the Wright Brothers to Aerobatic pilots of today like yourselfand there will be even more advancements on the way.
