    Thanks for the thorough reply, Mr NTTIABFLOFG*. I understand and agree with individuals not speaking out of turn. What I meant was: Why haven't we heard any updates from EAA "corporate"? ...

    Ron, you're a national treasure, and your POV is much appreciated, but why aren't we hearing same or similar from EAA?

    I called DOT and they walked me through where we are on this (that is, they walked me through what they can legally state). Bottom line is that officially the proposal is at OST. Got confirmation...

    I wonder if it's still coded "Black" because it did go to OST before the projected date. OTOH, the current update indicates that it hasn't gone to OMB yet (see below). However, Jonathan tells us that...

    The Fournier RF-4 had a similar set-up. My understanding is that they required a lot of tweaking to keep working, but did work well when in adjustment. Maybe the McDowell was just not a big enough...

    Watching aerobatics is just not a thrill for me.

    Well, maybe sailplane aerobatics are fun to watch.

    I much prefer the unique planes in flybys.
