    Default Reklaw

    What an amazing place to be Sat. I can't believe it's been going on for so long and this was my first time there. First place I've been where Cessna 150's are doing high speed (depending on what your perception of high speed is) fly bys. I guess theres a little fighter jock in all of us. Had a nice conversion with Jerry from Louisiana who I got on this departure shot. Steve, I came by a few times but missed you. Expected to see more short wingers there. I would guess less than 10 .

    Fossil, Sorry I missed you. I was all over the field all weekend. If Lee wasn't following me, I was chasing him. He really gets bored when I start talking to people but lucily he puts up with me.

    That is one of the Legend Cubs and it has the new Sensenich ground adjustable prop on it. Weighs 2 lbs. more than a wood. You loosen the 6 or 8 bolts insert the pitch key that you want, rotate the blades until they are locked and torque. They are getting some great cruise, climb and pull numbers using this prop. I had a long discussion with Darren Hart, the president of Legend. I am hoping they will certify this prop.
