Andy Helmholdt's FP 202
I'd like to submit my 202 for entrance into the fishnet hanger. I'm a wanna be
builder with very little time to build currently. I did find time to finish a 202
this past year though. I obtained my 93' 202 kit mostly finished with the exception of
instruments and engine. With the help of the fishnet and some great aviation friends
I added the instruments; added a Rotax 277 free air and successfully got her into the
air (July 2002'). I currently only have about 16 hours on her. She cruises at about
52 mph, climbs ~750 fpm and is a very forgiving, docile aircraft, a joy to fly (268 lbs
empty). She's now also equipped with a BRS 750 Softpak. I do plan on
starting a Horizon One project within a year or so while I build hours with my 202.
