If he would like to go for a ride then get him in there even if you need to left him in.
Karl ----- Original Message ----- Today is the big day, moving another project to the airport. An Horizon two, quite modified to look more like an 80% scale L-19. Interesting story with this one. My partner on this project is an 85 year old who is legally blind. A veteran of three wars, retired from the military. He was suffering from depression and needed something to do, he had tools and space and I suggested an airplane. The project took three years and three months working ONLY on tuesdays from 7AM to 2PM. Now he's depressed again for fear that our companionship will soon end. Built a two seater (tandem) so that he could enjoy it, but he is so fragile that climbing into the plane exhausts him. STILL, it's pretty exciting for both of us.
