Well done chaps, very worthy winners.
I feel honoured just to have been nominated, and I hope some other nominees feel it worthwhile - it's easy just to notice the negatives, and feel like you are shouting into the abyss at times on Fora, but this shows the other side.
I'd just like to asdd that Gary gets a big thumbs up from me for his effort and patience over a number of messages getting a feature on Ol 927 in Flightpath here in Aus. IMHO, he's a great ambassador for the CAF and WIX, as well as warbirds in general.
That's great. The idea of a float equipped Cassutt is one way of forcing Mr Austin to cut out a few cheeseburgers to achieve the weight and balance and a Reno chance!

Might be, but they have to win three in a row WITH floats on!
Congrats Jack and Gary!

It's much easier to build a lighter airplane than to lose weight by cutting out a few cheeseburgers!
