Rookie School Record Photos

Hey Guys,

A couple weeks back Jennifer, Justin, and I flew some cool airplanes to Pylon Racing Seminar (rookie school) and set some records (Tango, Gt400) on the way.  Below are some of the photos from that trip and rookie school.

Arnold Ebneter Visit

Hey Guys,

Jenn and I were really fortunate in early February to finally meet Arnold Ebneter, who among other things holds the absolute distance and closed course distance records for C1-a in the airplane he designed and built for that task.  Below are some pictures of the airplane we took while we were there.  What a cool airplane!!

A trip to visit Arnold Ebneter

Hey Guys,

Jenn and I got the opportunity last week to speak at EAA chapter 84 in Snohomish Washington.  It was fantastic to visit another healthy EAA chapter with great people excited about designing, building, and modifying airplanes.

While we were there we got to spend some time with world record holder Arnold Ebneter, and see his airplane the E-1.  Both the airplane and Arnold are fantastic, we'll have more photos shortly but in the meantime here are a couple of our favorites.

This is the control stick made out of a Snap-On screwdriver.  I couldn't help but think of the 1/4" ratchet in the panel of a long-ez or the mag-light in the panel of the NXT.  Also note the valves required to access fuel in the 6 wing fuel tanks.
