We launched and climbed out with a ridiculous deck angle. Tom gave me a quick demonstration of the controls with some cautioning to keep it coordinated. Within just a minute or so, he leveled us off and said, "your airplane." We were at FL150. That thing looks like a big fat propeller with a little airplane hanging behind it. 2 Quote
steingar Posted March 7, 2019 Report Posted March 7, 2019 One of my pals built himself a turbine Lancair like Tom's, indeed its up in the UP being finished off. He said it was sort of like a model airplane, just bigger. I should ask him if he still has the trees the parts came on. Quote
xcrmckenna Posted March 7, 2019 Report Posted March 7, 2019 I just saw a video where he sold Turbulence! But teaser on building something new... faster... possibly pressurized. I agree, Turbulence looked awesome! Not that I have insider knowledge but yes it’s going to be pressurized. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
