Who's to pass when you're out in front from the start?

It would be nice to be the one lapping folks, rather than the one being lapped!

Well, I've now got both wings, top and bottom, ready for paint. It's just a matter of waiting for the paint to get here (I hope it's soon) and after some final pre-paint prep, they'll be red.

That was a great story. It did an outstanding job of hilighting the most important, but rarely mentioned reason most of us fly - THE DREAM.
Some folks dream of going fast and turning left, some dream of morning dew on a grass airstrip, and others dream of playing tag with a puffy cloud.
My hat is off to a guy who lives his dream...

Well and good that you DID post it. Gotta love it when someone goes after a dream....and realizes it!
(But they left the "petting zoo" out when they mentioned the dogs!)

Here are Gary's wing and tail when they were attached to the original "Judy". This shot from the summer of 1986...
This was a very fast and winning airplane back then -- as in 240 mph in a 3 mile oval with an O-200!

Excellent photos, Neal! Thanks for posting!!! I will gladly pay you for any copies that you may have, if you'll send them to me. Also, do you have any pictures of the cockpit of the airplane?

Here's a question--notice the elevator deflection in Neal's in-flight photo? I'm curious as to how the flight controls are set up. Thanks for the answer in advance. Great pictures!
