If you are in the area, call us at 903-383-7979 the day before and we will try to accommodate you with a good meal and overnight lodging at our lake house near Sulphur Springs. We are best friends with the Legend Aircraft people and will certainly take you through the mfg facility.
We have a hangar with 3 arcft at the airport.

Identifier is SLR and about 60 nm NE of Dallas. Call us for lunch if just passing through.

If anyone is near Sulphur Springs, Texas you gotta stop. Gene and his wife Dori are the greatest. Their hospitality is boundless. The "lake house" is something to behold.
Sulphur Springs is a beautiful airport with tarmac and grass runways.
It's Texas dairy country!

The Mrs and I might have to make the trip up there from Houston to visit for lunch (in our new...to us...J3). Seems like it would be a perfect trip on a beautiful day.

Beginning in the fall, I'll be running back and forth between Tulsa (RVS) and Dallas a good bit for the next 4 years, I'll have to make a side trip.... that is if I can still afford to fly with a Daughter at SMU :o

I agree. Would make a nice break from school. A couple hour drive would be worth it :D

On a trip to Austin last year we stopped at Sulphur Springs for fuel, taxiing out we had a flat on the tailwheel, Gene & Dorinda took us in, fed us & we had a great time. The next morning we toured Legend Aircraft and the guys there fixed the tailwheel and we were off. Flat tire turned out to be the highlight of the trip, many thanks to Gene & Dorinda.

We meet a lot of great people because of airplanes. You won't meet any greater or nicer than Gene and Dorinda.

Hope to see you guys soon

Thanks for the nice words Rich. We have built a new home on the lake and look forward to vistors. Still have both cubs and the Cherokee 6. Going to put a stroker in the J3 in the next few weeks.

I had a chance to take Gene and Dorinda up on this offer and had a ball. Great visit, met LOTS of great people, you know the type, the ones who make the world a better place, looked at lots of cool airplanes, including Genes fantastic Smith Cub that he built, ate great food, and on and on and on. Wonderful visit that I hope to repeat sometime. Beautiful house - yes, stunning, but made so by Gene and Dorinda.

Here are a couple of photos of Genes craftsmanship on his homebuilt Smithcub.

If you are ever in that neck of the woods you really should go visit them, take the factory tour, and meet Gene and Dorinda. You will make life time friendships.
