Night-flight with smoke on of Ryan Mowery at last year's event. We have flood lights for night flying of electrics at the field, but we turned 'em off for this video. My phone had some trouble focusing, but still a cool video.

I plan to be there. I'm busting my hump to finish up a 1/3 scale Sig Spacewalker and put a couple of test flights on it prior to the event.

Can't wait to see it, Bob! Low and inverted.

Probably the only time it will be low enough to please you will be on takeoff and landing.

Great event, always fun. I've seen pictures of Bob's Space Walker, should be awesome in the air. Look forward to a great event.

Here's a picture of my Spacewalker. It looks like dry flying weight will be under 22 pounds. A DA-50 ought to pull it just fine.

Not sure why the colors don't look right in this photo. I used Klass Kote bright red and Cub yellow. Must have been the lighting in my basement.

Looks great to me! Weather is supposed to be 85 deg and beautiful at the fly-in... I'll bet it's looks great in the sun.

I will be there. Saturday night is always a lot of fun. You never know what is going to happen.

To think that we were 12 feet under water in the Meramec 500 year flood only three weeks ago! Electricity back on yesterday. Great job. Field is gonna be at full force for the event!

Grass near runway (for warbirds) and runway (asphalt) are in great shaped and we'll have them double-rolled for the event.
