It's no secret in the industry that Adam Aircraft has a very aggressive
engineering and flight test team, and that they flew a bunch of hours in the
days before the show just to be able to take the a/c to OSH with the gear
locked. There are plenty of people who think that rushing flight tests for
marketing purposes is not a good idea.

Funny that you didn't see the other mention of Adam, in which it was given
the Steel Cojones Award. I nominated them for that one. shrug

Xoooommmm tried to stick it to Adams in ANN for bringing their new
A700 aircraft to Osh without the envelope fully opened.

I guess all the manufacturers that bring new aircraft to the Paris Air
Show should also be slammed for not having fully opened their
envelopes before displaying the bird(s) or should these major
manufacturers, who might advertise in ANN, be given a PASS??
