Just Landed

[LSLAKER]

Hi there! My old 1956 C-172 has been a good reliable airplane and has taken me many a time into the Northwest Territories and the Yukon. I have flown the airplane forever without the back seat in it to make more room for camping gear and jerry cans. I have an interest in purchasing a CH 701 once I have obtained more information on the CH 701 and on engine choices. There are many abandoned airstrips up north that could safely handle such a STOL machine as the CH 701 appears to be. Being able to have a set of boards on the machine for spring flying with the longer day light and warmer days would be a blast. I would seriouly consider floats at a later time. The CH 750 would be nice to have put there appears that to few are out there for now and the asking price reflects it. I just do not have the interest to build my own nor trust myself to complete the job.

Hi LSLAKER, welcome to our forums here "down under"

 

Sounds like you're in idyllic touring & scenic country, very photogenic (hint, hint).

 

Your C172 is nearly as old as I am too, give (or take?) a decade.

 

Regards, Decca.
