My Kit Awaits
After flying one of these at No. Dallas in September, I bought my kit after landing. Something I've never done before.
This design of Mike Harrisons', kitted by Lance VanNostrand and Gray Fowler, is a remarkable machine. I've not flown a plane with such stability throughout the speed envelope, and got a chance to fly what must have been the SLOWEST Masters' sequence on record.
Even with an unfamilar radio, and travels not quite to my preferences, I recognized the potential immediately.
Large side area - rolling stability
Large wing - slow speed performance
Large control surfaces - smaller deflections, so less manuever drag
Great moments - the tail span, fin height, aileron taper permitted perfect snap and spin damping. Incredible.
I'll be starting on mine soon, and can't wait to do those fixed gear!!!
