After a good soaking rain most of the night at SNF the majority of the arrivals have been of the feathered variety. But alas the rain has stopped and the sun is peeking through. So far word in homebuilt camping is everyone came through mostly dry. It’s going to be another sunny day!
In Case You Missed It
Van’s RV-12
In typical fashion, Van’s Aircraft refused to rest on its laurels after the RV-12’s prototype debut last year, and sought to improve on an already good design. The new production airplane has changed (beyond its color), with a castering nosewheel, toe brakes instead of a grip, reshaped control sticks for better clearance, ground-adjustable seats fore and aft as well as in tilt, and the list goes on. Best of all, this day/VFR machine is still a delight to fly; by Ed Kolano.
