Default RE: TOM BRETT'S DESIGNS-UPDATE

I'm not sure how many out there know that contained on Chuck's video is video footage of Tom taxiing out the TBX-1 and a few seconds of it making a low pass and "Victory Roll". I'm sure the TBX-1 wasn't the best flying pattern ship ever designed, but it sure looked good in that footage, and it seems to fly well enough to have a ball with it. The TBX-1 drew a crowd then, and it will sure draw a crowd at the local field NOW .
I have the DVD and was amazed to see the TBX-1 on it. It's a real treat to see something so unusual in flight. I would have to agree about the flight performance about the TBX-1, but I for one would really like to find out first hand how it flies. I'll bet it's a real hoot flying it with today's equipment. Hmmm....Asheville '10.
