I got to see Pat's plan fly today. After four flights he flew a P17 that was competitive. The paint is amazing in the sunlight. The canopy looks like it is and inch deep. The other colors are brilliant. Each color is in a class of its own. A must see in person to really appreciate the planes paint. And, the plane it's self is gorgeous. The lines flow effortlessly into each other gracefully. At first we thought it was going to have to be flown a little quickly but by the fourth flight it was flying rather slow and like it was on rails. Down lines are just so slow. Everything was a constant speed. Snaps are effortless and it stops right now. WOW. Great plane and even better workmanship.
