The attraction is not the performance it's the nuts and bolts, and THAT is a fine collection of them.

Hi Dee, was your aircraft listed by Courtesy Aircraft a couple of years ago? I believe it was N852TC. Congratulations on the beautiful restoration!!! Truly stunning and the best restoration I have seen to date!! Well done sir, a true achievement to be proud of indeed!! I love the digi camo paint job as well. Did you do that yourself or did you have it done? Beautiful in any case!

How's your S211 project coming along? Flying yet?

Sorry for the long absence from this thread - the S211 was completed and flying - such an amazing little airplane. We encountered a little hiccup though - one of the MLG actuator seals was replaced previously with an incorrect part, and the right gear collapsed while sitting in the hanger -not serious damage, but grounded me for a few months.

In the interim, we've been busy with the Lear project - here are before / after shots. Looks insane - Lexus Nebula Pearl Metallic w/ Cerakote Sniper Gray wheels, and titanium metallic landing gear / actuators.

Can't wait to fly 2 ship w/ S211!

Next up, the 7 Canadian F-5Ds sitting in my hanger :drool:

just started on them, and will post photos. Shortly.

Lastly, just acquired JetAir Systems http://www.jetairsystems.com at Gillespie Field in San Diego - deal closed today. I'll set up sponsorship on forum - hope everyone will fly in to check out the new digs and maybe send some maintenance work our way! I'm also working on a fuel discount program for beechtalk readers . . . stay tuned!

Wowzah Dee. That thing looks SICK!! (I'm only saying what my 18-year old son said about it, but I happen to totally agree with him!! That's beautiful!!)

Lear 31? I flew the Lear 60. That is still one of my favorite airplanes to fly.

I'll have to buzz down to Gillespie in my Aerostar to check out your new digs.

F5 projects sound pretty exciting. Sounds like you're becoming the new Thornton.

Did my first S-211 training flight last month with the Victory guys out of Circle Air there at Gillespie. They have been doing some renovation. Helpful and knowledgeable staff combined with a great, easy access location make for a great FBO.

Fun airplane, right? I need to get my Type ride done.

Your digital camo paint is the coolest thing ever and it inspired me to do a digital camo wrap on my little experimental Onex. The cowl that I fabricated has the camo wrap on it. Your pattern looks way better though because my pattern is too fine, but that is the best I could do with the vinyl wrap options.

The other photo shows the Rotax 100hp installed in the Onex.
