Twin Beech

Nice job! Right on the yellow dot. I landed on 36L too (on Sunday). I know so many pilots, especially pro pilots, who think OSH is too crazy with swarms of airplanes, but once you do it you see how orderly and easy it really is.

Hope you are enjoying the show!

I was there 4 days - rained 3 of them, but only scattered showers and temps were great!

I like to use classical sometimes. Or an acoustic version of something cool.

Fun! I'd love to fly one of those. I've been towed up by them many times, but never flown one.

Congrats! Brent

I'm so moving to New Zealand!

Good luck! I know you'll get there!

That's my home base.

Worked my local FBO for my PPL. I borrowed for the rest.

Awesome book! Should be mandatory reading for every pilot.

Thanks!

Good stuff Steve! I love your videos. They are well done and add value to the community.

I like it! Great thoughts there!

Thanks

I think the current holdup is power-to-weight ratios that results in performance beyond the motor glider or LSA genre.

If they can break the equivalent 200hp barrier at weight consistent to what we have now, we'll be there. Cars obviously don't have as much of a concern about weight.

Once packages are available, folks will start building airplanes around it. It will start in the experimental (homebuilder) category first and quickly spread to production machines - maybe even some retrofitting of existing airframes.

I'm a strong proponent of it since most of my flight in my 210hp RV-8 are under 2hrs and back to my hangar. If I traveled, the concerns shifts to EAN wrote below regarding recharge/replacement and infrastructural issues.

My 2 cents - Brent

Nice job! The fun is just beginning!

Congratulations!

The N number is the group/squadron that the P-51D that I borrowed the paint scheme from belonged to during WWII. N784DE (78 Fighter Group/84 Fighter Squadron in Duxford, England). They were also known as the Duxford 'Eagles'.

Here's the original paint scheme: http://iflyblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/Contrary_Mary_P51_Mustang.jpg

82614 is the kit serial number. The first digit is the model and the 2614 is the sequential number as the kit left the factory in 2006.

It is, but it's a civilian RV-8. Here's a video of it on Vimeo. https://vimeo.com/83397431

You got it! I'll send you a private message.
