Brantly's in Ohio

[J-nut]

I'm heading out to Wooster, Ohio for about 10 days for work and am wondering if there are any Brantly owners fairly close by that I might be able to drop in and say hello to. I'm looking at buying one and would like to spend some time up close with one and maybe take a ride.

I'm just inside Pennsylvania, about a 2.5 hour drive or 1.1 hour flight from Wooster. Send me a PM or email if you'd like my phone number to connect up. I'd fly out that way. It doesn't take much for me to plan another cross country, even just an hour away! All I need is an excuse.

J-nut, try this and do a search in Ohio for Brantly's, http://162.58.35.241/acdatabase/DEFIMG.ASP.

Sounds like flylow will take care of you, hats off to him.

Thanks,
Mark

J-nut and I finally met up today. Did some ground work, patterns, auto, hovering auto, slopes, etc. Hopefully it was enough of an intro to the Brantly.

Hey Ron!

Sorry for being so long in getting back to you. I wanted to thank you for coming out to Wooster last fall and letting me have a little time in your bird. Definitely a good time! Well I've gone and done the deed and joined the Brantly club. My machine should be here end of next week. It's being trailered up from Harold's as we speak. It needs to be put back together still but I'm looking forward to doing that so I can get familiar with the machine. It even comes with approved cargo baskets for the sides. Only ones in existence as far as I know. We'll have two here in Hillsboro once it gets here. The other one is a B-2A instrument trainer one hanger row over from me. It needs a bit of work to get it flying again but they're working on it. Both of us are looking to work our ships commercially so we'll see how that goes. If I can swing it I may try to take my machine out with me on fire contract this summer to get in a little flight time and finish up the CFI.

Thanks again,
Jeff
