Mojave spy shot?

[Chad Veich]

Was perusing a fairly new picture hosting site dedicated to aviation and ran across the following photo (1 of 2 actually) that I thought may be of interest to some folks. I certainly had not see any pics as recent as these, taken on 9-16-06.

No....because the Phoenix actually FLEW.

Dang autofocus. You'd think it would have enough sense to know the photographer wanted to get the airplane!

Great to see it running though. Fingers crossed for an '07 debut.

Was'nt it Bob Hoover who said, "if it looks right, it flies right" ?

It's not that I don't want to see it fly, I think it would be outstanding, it's just at this rate, if they foul a plug in testing, it would be a year to get it replaced. They operate at the (average) homebuilders pace, not a race teams.

Homebuilders pace?
Pretty sure the sport class is the fastest growing class and they are all homebuilders. You will see more inovation and improvement of the breed in those homebuilt airplanes than the modified factory stuff. Don't forget the F1 class either.

I may be out in left field, but I seem to remember someone mentioning at Reno this year that one of the 2006 racers started on his plane right after Reno 05. That is a fast build.
