At my local airport, they/we are trying to start a flying club. After months of talking it finally got down to 8-10 people that were willing to put up 3-4K to buy a plane. When it came to deciding what to buy, most wanted auto pilot, min 180hp fancy gps etc.... That's when I walked. Only a couple wanted a 150 or older 172 to keep cost low so that we could actually afford to fly the thing. Most were more interested in looking like they were going somewhere instead of actual time in the air.

So I took my investment and bought a Firestar, just go========================

Jerry D/Gang:

Nearest I get to Poplar Bluff, MO, is near Bald Knob, AR, 116 miles.

Neosho is in the SW corner and you are located in the SE corner of Missouri.

Is a beautiful flight from Neosho, MO, to Tunica, MS, just south of Memphis, TN. Nice green mountainous area. Makes me want to come back with my dirt bike and ATV.

Guys, here in central Florida, there are many young pilots. I went to highschool where I met 4 other aviation enthusiasts. All 5 of us obtained our pilots licenses by our senior year. As for me, I am only 20 years old and have owned two aircraft. My first plane was a FSII amphib and my current is a SeaRey amphibian. In the last 2 years, I have gone from student pilot, to SeaRey Technical Administrator, to an aircraft owner, to an aircraft broker specializing in amphibious aircraft. As for my friends, we still "hang out" and fly on a daily and weekly basis. The SeaRey community loves us youngsters (I think). Anyways, maybe we need to send some youngsters your way!
Regards,
Daniel Myers

I've noticed the same thing in recent years. I think the young guys are more into video games and computers. If they want to fly, there is a game or simulation that would satisfy that desire without having to spend money on a plane or lessons. Cell phones and ipods seem to satisfy everything they need.

It is a single, however I think the frame is two place, it has the 7 rib wing. I have firestar 1 kit that I picked about 4 years ago that I never got around to building. There a couple extra tubes on this one. It has the 503 on it. I bought it from the widow of Leman Neeper, in TX. He may have been on the list in the past?

In the past I have had a quicksilver MXL and a Challenger clip wing II. I am looking forward to flying again. I have been out of it for about 3 years.
