Kitplanes article on Murphy Aircraft

Post by Jerry Folkerts » Mon Mar 07, 2022 4:53 pm

First, thanks to everyone who sent photos. Unfortunately, although I submitted 42 photos with my draft article, they only used a few. Marco’s Radical gets top billing and Mike Markers Rebel took second. There are also several good photos of the factory floor and what’s happening.

The six page article on Murphy Aircraft will be in the June 2022 edition, which normally comes out in late April. Please be on the lookout and enjoy the update. I believe there are some good things coming around the corner.

I'm told the June issue of Kitplanes is out and includes my article on Murphy Aircraft. I haven't seen the online version yet.
Best,
Jerry

I read it! Just about to give up and look somewhere else. I’m going to Oshkosh and so hope that they do bring the Yukon as that’s the one I’d really like to see.

Where did you find the article? The June PDF isn’t showing on my account

It is available online now. Interesting changes will be good to see production ramp up and some of the 2023 vs 6061 substitution stopping with the better supply arrangement. How does Edward Kang as the new GM relate to Gavin?

PS The last photo showing the Rebel over Shiprock is photoshopped and really should be labelled as such.
