Jack
Toman of Lansing, MI began flying in 1972 at the Livingston County Airport
in Howell, MI. He currently owns a Mini-Max which he purchased completed,
and is working to attain his private pilot license by end of summer.
Jack
has previously built a Mini-Max to 80% completion prior to selling the
aircraft, and is now working on a Kitfox Series 4-1200 which he bought
already under construction. He was not really looking to purchase a project
airplane, but liked the workmanship the previous owner had put into the
airplane, and the price was right. "I'm glad I purchased the airplane
now that I have it," Jack said. "I have had it just over a year
now and I am planning on covering the airplane at the Great Lakes Fly-In,
later this month." Jack says that the building, instructions, and
support from Skystar have been good. The hardest part so far Jack says
is "Dreaming of a paint scheme."
Jack
still currently needs an engine package, but really hopes to have the
airplane flying next summer.
