Jerry,Heart attacks sure have a way of getting your attention, and the ultralightroute would be a good approach to continued flying. So here are some ideasfor thought.When you get to the point you can get around with no problems considergetting a small oxygen cylinder, say about 16~18 inches long, put it in abackpack and strap it to the back of the seat and with a nasal canula you'dbe set. The O-2 may not be needed but could help depending upon how high youwanted to fly, and it would be a way to assuage family nay sayers.Besides, people with by-passes usually bounce right back and have noproblems even riding bicycles let alone sitting still in a seat... in acockpit... flying... having a blast!Building the plane would be more taxing than flying and you would know whento take a break from building. Heck, I've taken so many breaks from buildingthat it has taken us over 10 years to get to the point where covering isnext.Besides, I wouldn't be hesitant to associate with anyone who flew anUltra-Piet, or any other aerocraft either.RodgerSweatin' out the drought in the Texas Hillcountry________________________________________________________________________________
