If only I had $10,000.00 and a Pilot's license. Oh well, maybe if I win the lotto.

Dear D. Rudder,
So your an ultralight pilot. So am I. I flew cosmos trikes for several years with a project called Operation Migration. We taught geese to fly with planes and then led them on migration. Unfortunately i do not have an ultralight of my own and do not havre the money for one. There are other internet want ads that will get you responses though. Good luck selling it.

6,000 pounds for my own Nieuport!! I think it's a bargain! Where did I leave those job application forms? This could be just the motivation I need

Is there a gun on it? If so I might get it, but thats a slim chance.

Hi, Dwight. 80% or 100%, it must hurt to sell an aeroplane that one has spent time on. I have 2 motorcycles.. one, a 1955 Matchless 350cc single and the other a 1954 BSA 650cc twin, and the I couldn't bear selling either, so I know how you feel! Good luck, friend. Regards. Mukund.
