Thanks to all that made the fly-in at Columbia happen. Pam and I had a great time... Highlights for me included Ian's show and tell regarding his dream plane and a way to short discussion about how there is a military version of the EZ that can fly itself and land itself autonomously...so cool to see.

Would love for more presentations in the future...maybe one before dinner and one after....or something like that.

Also like looking at all the great planes..favorites for me...the 1st time I have seen Klaus's Vari (someone told me 250mph on an 0-200!!!)...so clean and interesting "z" tape where ever the plane tappers to excite the air so that it will stick to the plane rather than create drag...inspiring...

Thanks  Again,

Dave

Gotta agree with Dave: everything about Columbia (except for the rain Thursday night :-) was superb.  I very much enjoyed Ian Ayton's CAD presentation of his "dream EZ" and Dave Ronnenberg's video clips of the autonomous Berkut-like UAS.

I don't know who flew the 3-ship of EZs overhead but it was tres cool to see from below on the ramp.  And I don't know who did this to his prop on landing

but it pretty much grabbed everyone's attention.

If you want to see Klaus' VariEze do 250 MPH, come to Jackpot in July!
