A buddy is getting his VE up to speed for a flight up to Idaho. Another friend is helping him get new wheel pants installed in hopes of getting a few extra mph/kts since he is the slowest of the bunch. But who am I to say anything about top end speeds since RR is still a hangar qween and isn’t up to scratch for the ID flight. There is an incredible canard support group at the Compton airport and it’s motivating to hear of the assistance he gets when there is a challenge. Mrs. Bugs n I are driving up to ID and it will be a solid 14-15 hour drive from Placerville. We are all attending the Rutan Brother’s birthday bash!!! His posse is a great bunch an guys and I look forward to seeing everyone. One caveat is that we will be able to pick up out 68 912’s 5-speed that was rebuilt at a shop in Bend, OR.






I need to do this same modification. I have the original football styled ones that I could use. In the end, this type of pant is what I want to install on RR.
