Right-o Randy. I had completely forgotten this bird until I saw a pix that Rick S sent me. In the Mirage article Jerry W mentioned flying Mario Rondinelli's Venus and falling it love with it. Well squint a little and you can see some influence here. No turtle deck and its a trike, but the big pieces look a lot like a Venus (to me anyway)
I recall that this airplane was totally destroyed when it threw a blade off the Grish 10x6 3 blade. Jerry got it down and shut off in something like one lap, but the massive vibration apparently destroyed everything - even broke the stab. I did not witness this but remember the story Jerry told about it.
Does anyone know how to contact Jerry?
