The Old and the New

[yankee-flyer]

How about a post that isn't about a problem for a change? While we (EAA 382) were flying Young Eagles yesterday the Wright B replica dropped in at Greene County (I19) enroute to a flyover. I thought this photo made a neat picture of 100 years of progress-- the -12 is a LOT lighter, much faster, a WHOLE lot more fun to fly, and a lot more comfortable.

Exceptionally excellent idea!

I have 265 carefree hours on my -12 and it is a delight to fly. Very light on the controls, easy to land, easy to maintain, and the plane of choice for taking the grand kids for a fly.

Any new model is gonna have quirky issues. All in all, it is an amazing flyer.
