One of the new crew members, Shawn, works with my son-in-law at the skunkworks... We'll have to quiz him on the project!

Last year, the Unlimited techs wanted to see it at PRS, before they would allow it to race, (being an original design), so we should know in a few days....

Finally........... the a/c may make it ti Reno!

It will be interesting to see flex its muscles

Some things look a bit strange but all the best for a bunch of dedicated wing nuts that never gave up.!!

Ya know, a certain 'little' ex-communist trainer (with the initials of CzechMate) has done AMAZING things with an R2800! Who knows, with a 'purpose-built' airframe wrapped around one of those jewels, i think we'll
be pleasantly surprised! With a skilled flyer like DM herding her around the barrels, i, for one, CAN NOT WAIT!

..............GO RACE 86!!..........GO WILDFIRE!!...............

PS 'Sweet Polly Purebread' would be an appropriate mascot/nose art!

Is it licensed experimental, or experimental exhibition? The former will require 30-40 hours of test time prior to leaving its home airport. Maybe 20 if the prop/engine combo are certified. The latter would allow "repositioning" flights that avoid populated areas.
