Default RAH?

So is anybody doing anything worth talking about?

I did the detail design for an all wood elliptical wing that a friend
is building. Low wing single seat Sportster.

His airframe was started by Paul P some years back.
Paul did beautiful welding.

He's ready to have the fuel tank welded up now, and is making control
system parts.

Anyway, it's on the gear, wings are about finished and the engine is
hung. (but they all say that, don't they?)

So who has done what lately?

The pegazair has made some progress over the winter but we got shut
down by the extreme cold in Feb. Warming up now.
Meantime we've been working on things like electic trim, led lighting
and fuel gauges etc.

Built an ejection seat for the Fly Baby. Bad knee was making it tough
to climb out, so the ejection seat makes it easy!

Excellent, Ron. Good to hear from you again and to know you are still
flying the "baby" - bad knee or not. My partner on the Pegazair just
had both knees replaced over the last couple of years.

Hey Ron!

I guess I'm a little confused about that.
I thought ejection seats were to help one get OUT - not in...
