Ron, I am, as you, interested in the sport pilot concept, mainly because I am aging and anticipate that I will not always be able to pass the physical. So, after this one runs out, I am going to forego anymore flight physicals. I am curious about how you came to the conclusion that the Hershey Bar wing x 10 ft x slotted will accomplish the sport pilot limitations. Could you send me some links you looked at or pictures, graphs etc that you studied?
PS. When you're here this summer, I would really like to talk to you and Bill Thompson (I've asked him to get the thing flying again) and see what can be done, and how long it will take. I have about 20 months left on my license.
