It sure flies like a Ted Smith design.
While many of you I am sure do not care those of you that wonder about where they
are and what they have been doing..
As retirement approached it was clear to me that retirement income and a 685 Commander
were not compatible.
Crunk got me hooked on homebuilts and I acquired an F1 Rocket (se avatar) a great
little fast aerobat. With Crunks help and guidance we modified it a good bit
and put 500 hrs of travel time in.
It was a bit small and with age comes aches and pains when cramped in small spaces.
So the search began for a 200+ knot plane that was economical, roomy and fun.
2 years ago I found it and started building my pride and joy an M14PF powered all
composite Radial Rocket.
Spent a lot of weekends at Schuermanns working on the panel and all my free time
in the hangar cutting, gluing, grinding and sanding.
below is the final result.
We have been going to the hangar hotel in Fredericksburg annually for the last
3 years so this year we are going to change the date to coincide with the TCFG
flyin so look for me in my baby, Crunk in his RV8, and Chris in his mint condition
newly restored Apache 235.

Hi All,
GOVERNMENT HEALTH WARNING - FROM THE SURGEON GENERAL.
If Milt is going to attend this year's Fly-In, the use of very dark sunglasses
must surely be made mandatory and must be worn at all times.
THAT SHIRT is bound to be worn, so please, be prepared ;-)
JimBob will assume absolutely NO responsibility for those who do not take the
necessary precautions - you have been warned!
Actually, I'll bring mine too!!!
Look forward to seeing you All.
Very Best Regards,
Barry

Hi Milt,
Wow...what a pretty airplane. Congratulations on your achievement. Sure
looks like a fun plane to tool around in the sky.
Thanks for sharing it with us.

Milt my Boy,
It will be great to see you there. Just make sure Crunk puts any filler caps
back on correctly.
Cheers
Richard
