Kit Plane.......

[Rifleman]

Here Friends, is the Quad City Challenger.  It has a place for most of the year to tie-down at Courtenay Airpark, and for a couple of months, its away in Arizona doing some real warm weather flying.
This particular model was built in 1987 in the U.S. and then imported to Canada where it now resides and flies regularily on very calm mornings and evenings.
Last night as Wendy and I took our stroll, we saw this little thing doing a climb-out and had to go into the airpark to see if we could get some of it in the air.  It climbs so fast, we never had a chance to shoot it on rotation, but what we got, I share with you now.

These first two images are from a couple of days ago at its tie-down spot, and the rest of the pics are from last night......so, without further delay,......here's Dennis !

That's a plane that makes one want to pull it on (it's not like you actually climb in to that: it looks more like you put in on, one leg at a time), and start flying

Nice photos!

With the present, ever increasing, cost of aviation, we are seeing more and more of these little lovelies in the air.... ...!

Ah yes, but if you were given one, I think we would see you flying with a smile on your face, some calm warm summer evening..........

[Scottler]

Absolutely.  But I'd still have this sucker in hand.  lol
