Great job Dave, Don Stewart's Headwind will never go out of style!
Well done, Dave - looks great!
How how about writing it up for the "What Our Members Are Building" section of Sport Aviation?
We'd want about 300 words about and a nice, clean high-res picture, sent to editorial@eaa.org.
Hope to hear from you!
Regardless, congratulations again -
