You should call your representative and/or senator, they can get a fire lit under the FAA's ass.
Can't wait too see you fly your MiniMax. |

Darn! DAR was scheduled to come by for Airworthyness inspection. He apparently slipped while hand propping an airplane and injured his hip. Delayed a week or so!
Updates soon

Nope... I didn't... the paper chase is more work and a lot more frustrating than the build! |

Brian,
I am envious you have two flyable airplanes! I have 15 RC airplanes and helis bla bla.. I need to get this on! The plane looks cool, the Cherokee and the MAX. The view is awesome, is that the Ocean?

Little slow here. Taxi test are done. Test pilot and I are just waiting for a nice day. Seems like any day we can get together it is blustery! Meanwhile I keep busy flying my Cherokee. Last week I had the honor of flying some "young eagles" it was an honor to be the first to introduce a couple youngsters to aviation. Soon I will have video of Vmax first flights!

That's so great that you are flying Young Eagles. One of my hopes is that here in Eastport we'll be able to have a Young Eagles program and also a program with high school students building an Epic Sport. I'm doing up drawings for the most efficient rib jig I can work up right now. I hope to get permanent jigs for all the Epic Sport components in the coming months. Then we'll hopefully be able to build aircraft using a team of young people.
I'm sure you can show your Young Eagles your Team aircraft and that will be an extra thrill for them.
