Posted a slideshow here (http://www.i1ci.com/Flying/columbus/index.html )
covering my recent trip from Denver to Columbus, Montana for a Moose/Super
Rebel fly-in. We had two Moose and two Super Rebels in Columbus. A sincere
thank you to Larry Luckinbill and especially to Linda Niemi for hosting all
of us for the weekend. Linda is simply an outstanding gourmet cook (and
Larry knows how to serve a great beer <grin>).



Moose performed perfectly. Flew up at 11,500' with (as usual) about a 15 to
20 knot headwind. Very smooth with unlimited visibility. Nice (yippee!)
30+ knot tailwind on the trip home. Rough flight at times-especially with a
fairly steep let down into the Denver area (have to stay under the Class-B
area for Denver International-get below 8,000' pretty far out). A little
over 4 hours up and about 3.2 hours on the return flight (355 nm or so).



Flew next to Thomas Thomas in his Moose for a 1/2 hour+ flight around the
Columbus area to compare performance and flew flow #'s. Both Moose are
configured with about the same size tires (I have 26" and Thomas has 29");
Both Moose have VG's at the 10% of chord (we measured) location.
Performance was as identical as we could see at a variety of power (fuel
flow) settings.

Ohhhhhh....I wish I had known you were going to be there! I'm just one hour from Cut Bank to Columbus in the 310.

I would have come down and slobbered all over you planes!

I did not know there were any rebel builders in the denver area. We were out at Boulder for the JEFCO fly in this summer and say very few experimentals . Was a really good show.
