Default SLO Air is up to no good Sport Class!!!

With Relentless NXT takin' a break our shop was too quiet to be two weeks before Reno! SOOOOOO I could not help myself, my Glasair III #42 is undergoing the usual major upgrade with only 14 days to Reno arrival!!!!! Can't discuss details but the the Sport Class at Reno this year has yet another serious contender in the Gold!!!

Turn it up boys and girls!

...and with his new until now ultra secret clipped prop blades he will be able to save tons of weight with a radical short landing gear modification.

It's gonna be a year to remember.

Kevin,

Now that's the spirit!!!!!!! How great is it to have, in the back of your hangar, a gold contender just waiting to be dusted off and primped up for the show. Not to trivilize the effort it will take to get her ready for Reno, but I do love your dedication. Go out onto the course young man and KICK SOME ASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Good luck,and I will be looking for your new mount when I get to Reno.

Dave

Default 8 minute whetted spot

Hey Paint Boy....

Regarding your quote on your post...., " How great is it to have, in the back of your hangar, a gold contender just waiting to be dusted off and primped up for the show."

You need to re-post this comment again and remove the "r" from the word "primped".

What other 4play event do wezguyz have (and goylz too) where you prepare for 525,592 minutes... that is reduced down to 8 minutes of action.

Hint... the first letter is "s" and the last letter is "x".

Geez, do the pilots really remove their clothes during those 8 minitutes .

I do believe the "section 3 peoples" are one zip away from mass stationary streaking.

My wife does this.... and walks away, i checked my marriage contract .... and im Okay (in California) other states you need to probably call the Lawyer Referral Sevvice.
