I found some old photos that may be of interest to the forum. I took these at Ed's house around 1993, I think.

Wow, a blast from the past! I knew Ed (and Louise) from his days flying pattern in the Northeast. I guess he retired to Florida, but kept flying. Very nice looking Checkmate! Ed was a very good builder and pilot. I seem to remember he preferred Pro-line with his custom 'thumb saddle' sticks.
Thanks for sharing!
