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.

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

Dave, any idea how far along they are in the build process? 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.

Username Protected wrote: 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.

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: https://youtu.be/BfjSRUWtmeM?t=537Taken from this video, my part is at 8:55: [youtube]https://youtu.be/BfjSRUWtmeM[/youtube]

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.

The Beech a few after Dave had a pretty impressive bounce. Guy in the 170B >> (probably )
