That sounds great, Sam. Patrick will benefit from all of your experience and advice. Sounds like a great time was had by all on the delivery. He has a nice airplane. My airport manager owns a GameBird

Took a quick flight this morning. Beautiful day, 65 degrees F, nice smooth skies. I have been getting pretty good with my slow flight. My friend with the Aeronca Champ was up flying and I was able to

Ok Mark, I changed the check in to your name and you can give them your credit card when you arrive on June 2. Have fun. Sorry I will miss it. Cheers, Jay

Hi Mark, My reservation is for both Friday and Saturday nights. Do you want me to transfer to you? Cheers, Jay

Spoiler alert, Keith! Tim told me he’s been working in New Mexico, so he’s coming from there, but I will let him fill you in on the cool project he’s involved with out west. Cheers, Jay

Mark, Do you want me to transfer the room reservation over to you? Cheers, Jay

Spring Fling is the 2-3-4 of June. My reservation is for Friday, and Saturday nights (June 2&3). Let me know if want me to change it over to you. Cheers, Jay

Hi All, The good news is that the long range forecast is showing excellent weather, between Colorado and Indiana for the Spring Fling weekend (thanks again Keith for hosting), but the bad news is my e

Congrats, Robert. Good work at a perfect pace! Cheers, Jay

Robert, I think you will find a mixed bag on this group, ranging from people who have no springs, such as Jerry Marstall, to those having strong springs, such as myself. Jerry uses the reflexor to tri

That’s good Jim. Maybe some newly flying Q2xx’s may fly in the future! Cheers, Jay

Great history summary, Vern. I enjoy reading it. You should write a book…but only after you finish your plane! Saw a Rat Fink sticker on a store window yesterday and thought of you. Robert has a GU ai

Congratulations Kevin. You are twice me! Cheers, Jay

Great report Sam. Glad to hear you’re back to racing, and good job on that. I had hoped to enter the airventure race this year but I will not be going to OSH this year. I think I will try it next year

Not true, Kris. VG’s are routinely used on high lift airfoils such as the Clark Y, primarily in STOL kits for those aircraft, and are effective for reducing stall speeds for aircraft using virtually a

Although a little off topic, if any of you have ever wondered why the pitch-buck is a “nodding” or “bucking” motion rather than just a steady state AOA, I have uploaded paper that explains the reason

I have looked at this topic. They are of benefit to the LS1 by itself, but may be a liability to the tandem wing configuration, because the VG’s would allow the canard to fly at a higher AOA (alpha),

Robert, Vern’s last point is sage advice, since I think you are in Watsonville?? you are likely to have similar atmospheric conditions to what Vern describes, maybe not on the first flight, but someti

Robert, I am not an expert on VG's but do know that the type/shape of the VG is not nearly as important as the placement on the wing, so get input from those who have them installed to verify the plac
