RE: 2008 nats/Concours de Elegance
You can bet I'll be there this year Mike. And hopefully a few people will vote for my plane too. As I've said before, it's kind of a tribute to my dad, a great Engineer/ perfectionist/ modeler and most of all mentor to me and my 2 brothers. I'm sure he's looking down on us now with a big smile. Whenever we needed help he was always there, but he never did anything "for" us. He always did things "with" us. I guess that's why we learned so much from him. As you know, I did everything on my V2 (built it, covered it, painted it, assembled it, paid for it, cleaned up the mess it made in my shop...) except for the cores, composites and some of the formers and ribs (mine was a hand-cut short kit) so it's going to be in the "Craftsman's" category. Wish me luck.
