Default Congrats to Chuck on his award winning CT Cruiser
I first met Chuck at E-town when he showed up to help Dana disassemble his RV where the jump plane tried to chew it up. A month or so later Chuck invited me over to his house to see his plane while it was under construction. It is great to see him get rewarded for his effort. Chucks friend's Greg has a really nice RV as well.

+1!! N747JG is an amazing aircraft....and I've seen this thing in action. Staring at it on the ramp pales in comparison. Truly inspirational piece of work by a great guy! Congrats Jim!

Thanks Paul. I only put what I learned from you to work .

Thanks also for the nice comments, emails and calls!

Sharing 8 days at Oshkosh with my daughter Lauren (who helped build our Rocket) was.....as they say....'priceless'.

Congratulations Rick Gray,
Definitely the most beautiful homebuilt airplane I've ever seen. I'm sure it flies as good as it looks. What's next??

A great bunch of award winning air craft again this year at OSH.

I wish the awards were earlier in the week so we could see the planes that won. Then again, they would get drooled on!

Rick's Rocket was unbelievable, ......to say it is a work of art is a huge under statement.

Congrats to one and all!
