Guys;
Just back from OZ this evening. Head is still swimming some from 8 hrs
in a 152. Dang, I gotta get that 10 built.
Took a demo ride. It was my first time in a 10. This thing is gonna be
sweet. Handles well. Great power. The stall was nothing more than a
buffet. Mike Seager did the demo ride. Was fun taking off with the RV
7 demo on 18-36 in tandem. I'm still smiling from that ride. We made
the right choice.
I did not get to see the Cirrus and Cessna entries. But, I did get to
talk with one of Van's staff and he told me about some updates to the
12. They redesigned the wing. Should help the stall numbers. Also,
the biggest thing to a builder is that not only will it have matched
holes, but you wont have to match drill them. They did something
different and was able to not have the stress problem with the hole and
now they are to size. That kit will fly together. Looked pretty good
all painted and ready to go.
Got to put some faces with names and that was nice.
I thought the airshow was pretty lame this year. The warbirds circled
for most of the time. Only jets really were the F15 (in tandem with a
P51) and a double Harrier show. Unfortunately, I had to leave before
the weekend. (Raptors). I saw part of the Raptors last year and it was
awesome.
Will order finish kit tomorrow.
Keep building.
Fred
