  • knotty girl is flying

    after many ground runs and tailwheel issues , i got #69 knottygirl in the air yesterday evening, she flys great except for some small trim adjustments. i put about 2 hr on her today and will continue to do so till sept.got about 180 ind at 5000ft and pulled back to 2500rpm, she is going to be alot of fun.thanks to so many people that have been helping me, jay jones, tom edwards, john hall, gary davis, and alpha aircraft who sponsored the airplane even though it showed up three months ago in boxes. thanks everyone for makin my dream come true.

    Congratulations, Philip! Now you just need to get enough time on everything that you can just come to Reno and have some fun...

    Good luck with it all!

                  I always show up before 8:00 to see the lighter aircraft run, It's very cool to get some update and related info on the class. Keep it comming!

                        For those that don't come out early, F1 is some of the best racing at reno, and the only class does an 8 aircraft formation competitive takeoff, quite exciting!
