If Tim Lewis (middle) looks a little nervous, it's because this photo was taken just before his maiden flight on 18 Dec.'99!

Steve Rothert FINALLY proved that these birds actually fly!!
Here's what he has to say about his Long-EZ, N49SR. First flight was May 1997. Power - 160 HP 0-320 Lycoming. Top Speed - Faster than I ever expected! Range - More than 'bladder range'! Max Altitude - Definitely need supplemental oxygen. Flight Characteristics - Has flown "hands off" since first flight...an EZ plane to fly! Ground Handling - Castoring nose gear makes it easy to control in cross winds.

Tom Evans keeps his nice looking Genesis, N18TE, at Winchester, VA.
It was an uphill struggle, but '8TE finally took us both into the aether... if you build another one, Tom, I promise that you'll get faster turn-around!

George Smith's Lancair 320 took him about 4000 hrs to get to this point. It has an IO-320 Lycoming engine.

Ray Comley's recently painted Lancair 320. It's got heart...IO-360cu.in. of it!

The Kitfox above and the 303 Fisher below are two other projects completed by Dale Ross.

George Smith completed this Rotorway Exec a few years back.

This pretty little biplane, 6188X was originally constructed by George Hoffman. Charlie Becker and Greg Masck bought this Fisher FP-404 and installed a Rotax 503 engine.   The 1st flight was December 14, 1997.

Greg Masck putting 6188X through a workout.

Bob Shumaker, in his recently completed Glasair II S-RG, preparing to blast off at our Fall '98 Fly In at Winchester.

Lew Clement taxiing out his Rans S-6ES on August 6, 1998 for his successful first flight!  Lew has a Rotax 912 powering this beauty.

This is Paul Sponseller's Glasair 1RG – N35PS First flight 30 Sep 92 290 Hrs. as of 11/98 O-320-D1A Cruise: 75% / 8500ft-200 KNOTS!

Equipped with: Bendix/King KLN-90 GPS Narco NS-800 RNAV EDO-AIRE MITCHELL HSI Collins TDR-950 Transponder Aero Mechanism altitude encoder Alcor Fuel Monitoring System Nav-Aid Autopilot PM 1000 Intercom

N35PS FEATURES: Dual sliding canopies: No canopy lock required in flight. Cannot open inadvertently! Annular cooling air intake with turbine blades for ground cooling: CHT and Oil Temp have never been above the mid-point of green arc. Even on the hottest days! Extended Ram Air Carburetor air intake: Just like supercharging. Gives an extra 6 knots when ‘Ram’ is selected. Retractable Landing Light:  Extends when Nav Lights are on and Gear extended. Retracts when either gear is retracted or Nav Lights are turned off. Electric ‘positive centering’ three axis trim: The aileron trim is my greatest invention! The most simple, foolproof, best working aileron trim on any Glasair! The positive centering elevator trim gives positive response to trim changes, but center detent cannot be detected on stick feel. The hard center on rudder trim reduced the ‘Dutch Roll’ induced by turbulence by more than half.
