Bill, any pics of it?
Well, Aaron finally joined up tonight, and we'll see if we can get some pictures of it on here.
A short story about his "special" plane and his first NATS.
We flew the plane's first flight the night before we left for Muncie. Brand new and ready to go. Red white and blue color scheme in a pattern of the day.
It now has a black "anti glare" panel thanks to a gust of wind at the lower end of the L-pad immediately after the plane touched down on the last practice flight before appearance judging! It flipped the plane on it's back shattering the canopy. It was about an hour before it had to go on the floor in the gym. First NATS, and a freak accident. I think it still got 14 points with a clear taped up canopy. One great point was that everyone there was willing to help us all week. Bob Gieseke, Bob Hunt, Billy Werwage, Ted Fancher, Mikey Pratt, Windy, Bill Rich, Papa Dave Hemstraught, Bob "Champione", Paul, and a host of others.
The accident was disheartening to say the least under the circumstances. But it didn't affect the flying characteristics, and was a quick repair when we got home.
