started working on this today As a volunteer for the San Diego Air and Space museum https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z5c0ZaxFvfQ In February 1959 an American Vertol 44 helicopter flies over St. Peter’s Square to land in the St. Damascus courtyard. Pope John XXIII blesses it, as the classical environment contrasts with the machine’s modernity. lot of work ahead http://classicrotors.net/bv44/story.htm will take pictures as we progress

I remember taping bottle rockets to balsa wood gliders. Light the fuse, time it just right, throw the thing and it would blast off and then come the pop and little fragments of balsa raining down. Sometimes you could get 2 or 3 flights tops.

Cool little piece from "DUST," the short film Sci-Fi channel on YouTube. OV-1 Mohawk content.
Watch it full screen in a darkened room with headphones for extra fun.

Thanks!!!!! Can’t wait to get her in bug smashing mode. Need to inspect all systems, send the Dynon in for a service and CI. Nav lights, ADSB and trailing edge fences to follow once flying. Same engine as the ol C-150 heavy and per the logs, will push FM-1 to 175 at full boat. We will see with my fat arse sitting in it. Lol Many folks say that this thing flys like a fighter. Very snappy and light in the controls. No frills flying at its best. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
