    Sanderson Field in Greenland looks to be a lot of fun. I was just whining a bit as I never seem to see an "LSA Expo" (with numerous vendors) being organized in the New England area. With a full time job, it's not something I could even begin to think of taking on.

    I was there yesterday along with one other Kitfox (guy named Mark). Had to skedaddle back home in the afternoon so I wouldn't get trapped by the T-Storms.

    There were some nice planes, but all are priced about the same as a new Tesla.

    Paul, i want a P-51 replica for my next plane, the SW-51 is there but not ready to fly for a couple more weeks according to Mitchel Hansen , but if I can talk him into letting me check it out, then it will be worth the trip

    The show is a great setup if you're looking to get a demo flight in one of the many designs represented there. I noticed one vendor was trying to weed out the tire kickers with a $25 demo flight fee.
