Question

A few days later, guess what?? Guido certainly looks like a man with a mission.

Guido sent the following report to Beppe, who passed it on to me:

Beppe
TBX-1 is airborne. This afternoon (April 6th), it made its first flight. My friend Urs Leodolter former F5B worldchampion (and capitain of a Swiss airbus) made the first flight. Very few corrections were necessary. It flew very well and rolled perfectely. I am very happy it is still in one piece.
Guido

The first TBX-like flight in 50 years! While not an exact TBX, it's close enough to give you "goose bumps" for those of us who are TBX fans!

That's all I can handle on this post...more to come!
