Hi guys, I have a kit I got from George T. in 2001, delux kit sheeted etc. Curious if anybody has any pictures/comments on flight characteristics etc? Haven't seen too many of them. Quite frankly I nearly forgot I bought it! I have been deciding on what kit I want to order from Dan at Carolina and I was nearly ready to pull the trigger on the New Orleanian and then it hit me that I may own one. Sure enough, there it was in my attic. Guess I will be getting an EU1A from Dan.

Anybody else nearly buy a kit twice by accident LOL

Thanks!

Don't worry, I can make you as many New Orleanian kits as you like.. remember that pic in MAN where there were 4 New Orleanians in Blue Angel, Thunderbird and other paint schemes... we should do that...

Some shots of the New Orleanian from the March 1969 MAN construction article including the one mentioned by Dan.

Thanks guys! Anybody have a scan of the MAN article handy? Dan, just shot you an email. Never seen an airplane that didnt look good in the thunderbird scheme.

Thanks

Look at all those open exhaust engines!

Hi,
I saw this thread, & went in search of an old picture. I've tried to attach the pic of my dad flying a New Orleanian which was built by the designer, Dr. Bob Lein/Lien.
He always said it was a great flying plane for its time. Keep us posted.

Oh Hi Kev! Long time no see!
For those in the group that don't remember Kevin Castaing, he was really dangerous with a Compensator!

Hi,
Here's another from the archives.....The guy seated on the left, with his legs crossed is the designer, Dr. Bob Lein. I believe this was taken in the mid-60's at a contest in Baton Rouge, LA. The others in the pic are unknown to mecan anybody help?

Ooops,
It should've read "....unknown to me. Can anyone..."
Sorry.
