Dave, any idea how far along they are in the build process?
I heard in late September that everything had arrived in Czechia, but haven't had an update since. JMB had outgrown their current factory and last year finally got permits to build a new, bigger facility at the airport, so they have a lot on their plate.

This would be the perfect airplane for my mission...

I fell in love with it the first time I flew it, and have been able to fly one a couple times since, once for a photo shoot for a magazine. See the photo by David Leininger below. It is a marvelous airplane in so many respects, and Dave's is a beautiful example.

I do agree the shape is pretty easy on the eyes.

If the airplane is "professionally built" who or what is listed as the manufacturer?

It isn't. It was built by me, with adult supervision.

I got an update from my Czech spy network. They've given up on getting a full plane, or even a full kit, to Osh '23. Not enough room in their current facility and not enough time to get a new factory built.

It's a known, minor issue with Evos that the ASI is accurate at low speeds, where it matters, but it reads a little low at cruise speeds. I wanted to know how low, so this week I flew a triangular course at 17,500'. The average groundspeed was 297 kts while the G3X said TAS was 290, so it reads about 7 kts low.
Technically incorrect to average ground speed, you need to solve for wind vector (x/y component) and tas. 3 unknowns needs 3 equations, thus 3 legs.
My test pilot friends pointed me to an appropriate spreadsheet, and FlightAware had the data to fill it in. It bumped the TAS error from 7 knots to 10, so 290 KTAS was actually just over the magic 300. For a -135A Evo with full de-ice, I'm pretty happy with that.

There’s no correction map/factor that can be input to G3X is there?

Somebody caught my arrival at Airventure 2022. Landing 36, wind from 270 gusting to 27 knots. I remember it as a little squirrelly but I didn't recall it was all that bad. Pics, so it happened. Direct link here:

Taken from this video, my part is at 8:55:

Looked fine given the conditions and very comparable to the arrivals around it.

Actually Dave's arrival looked better than almost every other airplane in that video. The worst were a couple RVs and a SeaRay.

I would really think twice bringing my rv in during those conditions.

To put those landings in perspective... on that day an F-16 went around because of the gusts, a Birddog ground looped, and a Cessna 180 ground looped and struck a wingtip (though it seemed to be without significant damage). Everyone wants to keep their speed up for the traffic flow and because of the wind, but probably 80% of the planes landing have a pretty light wing loading and need to touch down pretty slowly. On a day like that, it's a miracle that there weren't more accidents.

We were non-stop from Boise, hurrying to get it into the booth before they closed off the show access taxiway for the week. No pressure!
And he edited that video to put the 310 gear collapse at the end, I believe it actually happened a few minutes before we arrived, we circled Warbird Island while they cleared the runway. I could see it off the far end of the runway as I landed.

That was a terrible day for recoveries. I went around on 36R in a T-6. It wasn’t pretty. :ohno:

The Beech a few after Dave had a pretty impressive bounce.

Guy in the 170B >> :pilot: (probably :D )
