Tracy Crook RV-8 flew today...
After some 8 years and 7 months Tracy Crook took delivery of his RV-8 kit and today he made his first flight with a Mazda 20B three rotor as a powerplant. The truth of the matter is that if he wasn't so busy helping others get their rotary projects off the ground, he would have been flying this aircraft years ago! So way to go Tracy!

Reason: mixed up flight date with kit arrival date...

That's good news
Now it is time for you Dave to post progress on your Mazda9A. Several people had asked me about the engine.
It was nice to communicate with you about those years  ! |

Congrats Tracy!
I'm a ways behind you, but I'm inspired to work all the harder!
The quality of alternate engines have been improved by your many contributions! (a few are on my plane!)

A couple of friends saw him at SERFI a couple of months ago. One said that he came in the -8.
