But I hope to hear something very soon. We have has some rain and now a good North wind. Last I heard the Oscar was up on jacks checking the gear and still working on the bugs in the brake system.

Any Buyers for these yet?

The only buyer I have heard is Erickson at Tallamok (spelling?). I think this first one is for him.

Today, JAN.11th the Texas Airplane Factory rolled out the Oscar... After a weight and balance and preflight it was time to start it up... Fire bottles and cameras at the ready the engine cranked over and started right up... After warming up and checking systems the chocks were pulled and the plane moved and stopped on it's on... Taxi and brake checks were carried out on the ramp near the Factory then the plane was shut down and towed back into the hangar for post-flight inspections and servicing.... Congratulations to the TAF crew .. !!!
