RV-10 Fly-In Today

[dmaib]

Jesse Saint put out the word a couple of days ago that he was going to host a short notice RV-10 fly in barbecue lunch. It was an absolutely beautiful day in central Florida, so off I went with a buddy in the right seat for the 30 minute flight to X35.
There were six or seven -10's there and one lonely 7A. Met some really nice people, had some great food, and saw some beautiful airplanes. A couple of notes on this slideshow. There is one photo of the newest member of the Saint family. Jesse has a beautiful family!
There are also a couple of photo's of a roadable (is there such a word?) powered parachute that Saint Aviation has built. It will get it's airworthiness inspection tomorrow. We were treated to a demonstration of this cool machine in the road mode. Rumor has it that it will go 90 mph on the taxiways! It has a separate drive mode for ground and another for air. Looks like a lot of fun!

David,
Awesome fly-in, sorry I missed it. The flying road-able vehicle you saw is the Maverick, which is actually a flying car developed for missionary work! It was developed as an SLSA by some of the people you met there who are part of ITEC, to learn more go to www.itecusa.org
