Finally got it up in the air today. What a joy to fly, once you get used to the pitch.

Dr. Paul did the pre-buy. Don’t think he missed much...

Great looking plane Steven, thanks for posting.

And now I see, that's the 2007 SportCruiser that Bristell owned that they gave demo rides in and then took you up in a NEW Bristell to show you the difference so try and sell you a Bristell. Not exactly a fair fight but that's Bristell.  The SportCruiser is still a better looking plane. 

Steven, please make sure you THOROUGHLY inspect the NLG, spindle and spindle housing for cracks. And check to make sure the spindle isn't bent. Mine had cracks when I bought it and a bent spindle. I can share pics with you if you like so you know what to look for. CZAW beefed up the spindle housing in later production but looking at your serial number your plane was made before my 2007 was. I have a spare, stronger, stiffer housing if you want it.

Love to see the pics, and would love to speak about the kit.

Hello all, I’m Steve. Just put my new-to-me Sportcruiser in it’s new hangar home today. Very pleased, but with a much lighter bank account. 

Indiana-based, would love to chat with another owner, and pick thier brain for tips!
