Talking Getting ready for Reno - but we all know how this goes

George Ford is this month?s Van?s Calendar pinup airplane. It?s not all fun and games though. We?ve been working on the plane to get it all ready for competition in Reno next week. I think most of us are pretty familiar with how fun it is to crawl under the panel. When you?re getting short on time before Reno it gets tough. Hopefully he doesn?t kill me for posting this.

If you?re in Reno, come say hi!

The information that I post is just that; information and my own personal experiences. You need to weight out the pros and cons and make up your own mind/decisions. The pictures posted may not show the final stage or configuration. Build at your own risk.

You have to talk sweet to your airplane, she'll hear you!
