    Default New Englanders with a flying tricycle gear?

    As I close in on flying my machine I would love to take a dual hop in a 5-7 tri-gear Fox. If there is anyone in MA, CT, RI, ME, VT, NH, NY that would be interested in showing off their aircraft please let me know.

    Yes I have a DAR, he has been for a pre-inspection about a month ago, liked what he saw. I think I am only a couple of weeks from asking him back for the AW inspection, that the theory anyway. Still looking to get some time in a tricycle Fox, no takers so far, happy to extend my search to the NE quarter of the US.

    after all the work , this is a exciting time for you . reduces a lot of the stress once you start working with the dar and know what he expects .
    sorry i cant help with a ride , hope you can get some time in one before the big day. good luck and enjoy the moment

    if my memory is right..there s a guy near Wells Maine with a trike-gear model 5,.now if I see him on here ,..or on EAA site ..not sure ,..I'll check

    Chase

    CDE2FLY has a model 7 ,..he is in Greene NY which is just north of Binghamton NY ,.think his is a tail dragger though.

    Dorsal ..John McBean might know someone whohas a model 7 in Mass as well ,that might not be on the forum..he is from near the Cape also,..not too far from my home town.

    Hi Dorsal - Sky Pirate is right...I'm near Binghamton with a Model 7 tail drager. Let me know if you would like some stick time. My first flight was in July last summer and I've got just over 100 hours on it. I've been very pleased with the airplane and 912S/IVO in flight adjustible prop.
