Hey guys,
Well it has been a tough summer and fall for me. As you all know I lost my 40% Edge in Chattanooga on the lowest knife Edge pass that I have ever made. That same day, late in the afternoon during a 8 airplane torque roll gaggle I ran out of fuel in a torque roll with my 40 % Extra 330. It looked a whole lot worse than it was. It basically broke my Engine box and cracked my cowl. My new Edge that I had the mid-air with won't be ready for Fairhope. I will have to replace the wing, rudder and canopy before it's ready to fly. So this week I went and dusted off the 40% Cap 232. This is the plane that I will be flying at the Fairhope 3D event. I've been trying to find someone that will let me borrow and Edge to fly but for some reason nobody will loan me one. (Wonder Why?) I already have a new Edge kit, so #3 will be built in the next few months. As for the Extra and Edge #2 they will live to fly another day. Hope all of you can come to the Fairhope, AL 3D event. For more information on Fairhope, you can visit my website at www.blaineaustin.com and click onto the Extreme Aerobatic Club page.
Thanks
