      Thanks for your insight Bob.
      
      Following the replies here and the advice of some other builders, I've decided
      to build a 4-place airplane so I can haul people and "stuff" appropriately.  I've
      selected the Barrows Bearhawk, have the plans in hand, and am excited about
      getting started.
      
      I've got a lot of learning to do prior to the start of all this good stuff and
      have signed up for the sheet metal course in Oshkosh at the end of January.  Seems
      like the best option since I'll be working on the wings first.
      
      Thanks again for all of your thoughts!
      
      Best regards,
      Chris

      a C-150 at gross. You could do it but not to fly into high altitude airports as
      getting out would be risky. So if you are always flying in flatlands, might
      get by.

      on takeoff because of insufficient power vs weight. A C-150 will climb out
      at around 100fpm here; not much margin for gusts or downdrafts.
