Hi,
I spent the last couple days browsing the forum and tought it was time to introduce myself as well as give a bit mor information about me.
I am currently working as a Flight Service Specialist (FSS) at the Kuujjuaq airport (CYVP) and have been there for the last 3 years. I recently moved to Drummondville near Montreal (I still work in Kuujjuaq on a rotation basis) and this move allowed me to again contemplate flying again.
I have been doing remote controlled airplane on and off for the last 10 years and did the ground school for the private pilot license a couple times with the air cadets.
Due to my vision being to low uncorrected I have no choice but to go with an ultralight license so that is what got me looking in that direction.
After a bit of browsing I came accross UPAC's classified and saw the ad for C-ICUN. For the price, it is ideal to get me started after my training. Basically I would like to buy it and store for the winter while I do my training at Vortex Aviation.
First I was a bit set off by the twin engine setup but after a bit of reading it seems to be relatively reliable on a Lazair and not too expensive to maintain. I live about 5 minutes from the airport and would allow me to get flying for a very reasonable price.
My plan right now is to drive to the school see how it is like this week.Then I would have a local repair shop inspect C-ICUN to make sure everything is in good order before flying to Toronto, get by train to where the plane is located and then rent a Truck one way to take it back home.
Sounds like a good plan to you ?
Do you know any Lazair owner from Quebec?
Well that is pretty much it.
i would also like to thank all of you guys for the wonderful informations on this forum.
