    Since I complained last year so vehemently (on here, and over the phone with the EAA guy in charge) I feel compelled to share my feelings. We were there pretty much all week (Monday thru Sunday).

    Here is my Globe Swift(s). I haven't installed the electric motor/prop/speed control yet hence no spinner. Also, the gear doors aren't done.
