Sunday, February 28th, 1999. My fellow BFI Pat Schmitz comes over
with his Rans S-12XL to go play in the air with me. |

2 Birds, ready for flight, and some aerial photography. |

Pat's pretty coordinated to fly and shoot these pictures at the same time.

Peeling away for an underside shot. This was a fun day. |

My way of straightening gear legs using a vise. I had the leg
inserts, so when a student bent them a bit, it took quite a lot to get them back again.
Notice the iron bar bending from the pressure. UPDATE: I've
added fiberglass legs to the plane, and all the gear problems have
disappeared. It's one of the best modifications you can do. |
