I saw Steve fly his at the ‘83 Nats, every flight. We were on the same flight line. He would perform a knife edge to knife edge snap at the end of every flight before starting the landing approach. Back in the early ‘80s there were several members of my club flying pattern. Two of them built Brushfires. One weighed 8.25 pounds and one weighed 9.5 pounds. They both flew well. Landing the lighter one was a real pleasure. Maybe I’ll put a Brushfire on my winter project list! :-)
