He later built a camper, boat, horse trailer, go-carts, an original Oldsmobile replica and two experimental airplanes from blueprints; one in the living room of the house he built for the family. He developed a passion for flying and took flying lessons while building the first airplane. He didn't fly again after his plane crash in 1983 but never lost his love for flying.
