Default Not Sure if I deserve this Oshkosh AWARD, but I'll take it!!!!!!!
I want to thank "James Aircraft" Sam James for presenting this award to me at Oshkosh this year. I just received it in the mail today and wanted to share it with everyone. Sam gives out two awards towards RVs, one is "Best Paint" and the other is "Best Fiberglass Work"... Sam was mostly looking at my fiberglass work firewall forward. My glasswork isn't perfect, but Sam was quite interested with some of the changes and challenges I'd done to the cowling, cooling system, upper and lower plenum and the oil cooler external air supply.

Anyway, those of you attending Oshkosh next year looking for an award like this, get creative and pay attention to detail with your work.

Thanks again to Sam and all of the nice comments everyone had at Oshkosh this year.

Having seen your plane on this site then seeing it at OSH is nite and day. your craft really stands out but in a very GOOD eyecatching way.I went to Sams forum. What I really would like to hear is Sam talk about his past,his offshore boating,his time with Bertram Then what he can say about his days with the CIA. Once again your plane reminds me going sprint car racing. If it looks good on the outside chances are that guy also does whats inside right also.

Naw AJ, I saw it, looked at for a long while and wished mine was near that good. You deserve it. Now, as far as "looking for a Lady co-pilot".... loose that shirt!
