Saw an early morning TV report with the motors running and mechanics
tweaking things. Looks like a sweet machine. Hope things go well...


Have you seen it? It was at OSH 3 (?) years ago, and it was impressive.

What was coolest, was seeing it fly. Things that big, are NOT supposed to
be able go that slow! g


Did anyone read the pilot's report on how the thing flew? Someone
wrote one up while it was at Oshkosh and my recollection is that it
was a tad ponderous, requiring judicious control inputs which didn't
seem to affect the airplane for a long time...
