Actually there were 3 Rebels and an Elite at Arlington, but only one (Chuck
Bailey's Rebel} was there for the entire show. You had to be there at the
right time (or all the time) to catch them. However I share your
disappointment The factory sold their Elite and did not have the
replacement ready. Colleen and Brian were both unhappy about that. The
good news is that there were many builders in the pipeline there and in the
next few years, several new planes, especially Elites, should be avialable
in the northwest for show. I have posted pictures of Scott Massengil's
Elite at
http://communities.msn.com/NWRebelExper ... massengils
elite.msnw . After completing his 40 hour test period, Scott was so happy
to be able to fly outside his restricted area that he jumped in his plane
and flew to the East Coast, dipping his feet in the Atlantic....in a new
plane...over the Rockies...VFR....in March! Other good news for you Super
Rebel builders is that it is selling like gangbusters and MAM is backordered
on the quick build kits for at least a year. I believe Colleen said they
were selling several kits a week! There were constant crowds around the
late arriving factory Super Rebel with the big radial. It was the buzz of
the flightline whenever it taxied and flew demos. To say that plane is
large is an understatement.

To all rebel builders headed for AirVenture,
I just returned from Arlington and was told the dinner was canceled
because
no suitable place could be located to have it. No food is allowed to be
catered in so If a place on site was not available it wasn't going to
happen.
This was the word from Brian at MAM.
There was only one Rebel at the Arlington fly in this year. I was very
disappointed not to see any more. I hope the turn out at AirVenture will
be
much better.
