Firefly?
Gus McLeod's Latest Adventure Stalls Close To Home
Attempt To Fly Over Poles Doesn't Make It Out Of Pilot's Home State
It was supposed to be the start of a great adventure. Sunday, Gus McLeod
seemed to have what he needed to become the first man ever to fly around the
world on the polar route -- in a single-engine aircraft -- had good weather,
a good ship and a goodbye crowd that included a television crew. The day
ended just 30-miles from McLeod's home airport, Montgomery County Airpark,
MD, with a broken plane and a pilot wondering how this could have happened.
"We've got a disaster," McLeod told the Washington from a hangar at
Frederick Municipal Airport. "I feel embarrassed. I don't know what to
say.... I don't have a clue as to what failed or why it failed -- all I know
is it failed."
"It" began as a vibration Dr. McLeod felt shortly after take-off from
Montgomery County Airpark, on his way to the North Pole. "I couldn't put my
finger on it. The vibration was off; it was doing something amiss." The
50-year old Gaithersburg, MD, man landed at Frederick and found that his
wheelpants had partially detached from the nosewheel.
No worries there. He simply removed the wheelpants and prepared to get back
into the air. But as he taxied back out to the runway, the nosegear of his
Korean-made, Velocity-inspired KARI Firefly completely collapsed. The nose
of the aircraft thudded sickeningly on the runway.
It was the second heart-wrenching failure for McLeod in his attempt to set a
new aviation record. As Aero-News reported last year, McLeod's attempt ended
in Argentina when his engine failed 80-miles north of the capital. He was
able to set the Firefly down in a pasture, but damaged his landing gear in
the process.
Now, the would-be adventurer plans to pick up the pieces and take them to
Baltimore for repair. What about the world-record attempt?
"It may mean that I go in the spring. It may mean I go to the South Pole
first," he told the Post. "But I'm still in it, I'm still in the race, I'm
not giving up by any stretch of the imagination. It's not in me to give up."

Hi Mike,
Very funny, but you know, there are some members with pacemaker or
defibrillator implants on this list. If one of them, with an old tired out hart,
gets a
cardiac the widow will be owning your FireStar. ;-)

Dave,
Go to an auto upholstery shop, get some clear vinyl used for
convertible windows, sew Velcro along its edges, glue mating surface on wing
& you're done! Role it on & role it off, works great. -Richard Swiderski

Likely the gap seal for the Firefly or Firestar will work? Held on
with velcro. Call Travis and give him your measurments. Herb
