From: "N395V" 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. -------- Milt N395V F1 Rocket Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=93894#93894 ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 05:34:41 AM PST US From: "Barry Collman" Subject: Re: Commander-List: It may not be a Twin Commander but....................... 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.
