I bought the domain name www.VansAirForce.net 25 years ago today. Thank you for making it special and helping keep it alive.
Fourth Phenom 300 (job3) recurrent is in the books. Missing the RV-6 this week big time. Brain a little tired ;^).
Wishing you and yours a happy, safe and RV-filled weekend.

Where mine is. Size and shape were determined by duct taping various shapes and sizes of wood in various locations on the rudder before I found the exact place it worked the best. She cruises feet-on-the-floor!
Trial-and-error but you get to do a lot of flying to figure it out!
