Retracts
Based on this thread, there looks to be a great desire for a retractable RV.

...and homage to Van's crew
..not to taint the awesome idea of 'first flight', just suggesting there may have been a couple others present.
...shocking really, to think that the tricycle, tip-up controversy could have been pre-ordained from the very start!

( also just some appropriate refreshments to celebrate the successful launch! nothing more!)

Thanks guys. Funny thing, I grabbed the RV still pic from my actual first flight video. At the time I was only taxiing by, but the still seemed to work well with the Wright Flyer photo. (Lots of elevator to pop it off at slow speed  ). Also a little hard to tell but I had to mirror the pic. (The data plate and I are on the wrong side)
Anyway fun thread with lots of good ones. Keep em coming!
