*AIRCRAFT UPDATE*
The Jetwing trike and Moyes GTR have been SOLD! Brian from Salem purchased both. He is really motivated and will probably make short work of getting this project flying.

All Aircraft Are For Sale!
I have made a decision to put up all of my aircraft for sale.
I am offering for sale a complete single place A10D Mitchell Wing on trailer, a two place T-10D Mitchell Wing kit, a Kawasaki 340 trike with Manta Wing and trailer, and a JetWing trike chassis with modified Moyes GTR wing.
This is not a fire sale, in that I do not necessarily need to sell any of them. My intent
is to free my time up so that I can concentrate on one or two projects and I can spend more time flying.
Please contact me with any interest. All offers considered.

Dreaming of Flying
Yesterday was an absolutely beautiful Oregon day. Still a little cold, as it is the middle of February, but one of those days that makes you dream of flying. Although flying season won't be on us for several months, a day like yesterday definitely gets the wheels turning.
Of all my projects, one is finally ready to go. The last step for the Kawasaki trike was to build a trailer for transport. It is now finished and also functions as a mobile hangar. The trailer has a large ramp door which makes it very easy to move the trike in and out, with standing headroom so you don't have to stoop over.
Within the last couple of months I also made a few improvements to the chassis. I wanted to add a dual CHT, as when I purchased it there was only a dual EGT. This will definitely be important for monitoring engine performance. There was also a slight twist in the mast that I was not comfortable with. I had Bill Larson at Oregon Aircraft Design do the work which turned out really well. I have had a lot of good experiences with Bill and would definitely recommend him.
The only thing really left to do is test fly the trike. It has been a little while since I have flown one....so I will definitely be taking it nice and easy. Won't be for a few months, so I guess I will have to be satisfied with dreaming for the moment!
