Hey, Steve,
What campus and major is your daughter going to/taking? My wife, Susan
and myself are both Aeronautical Engineering grads, class of '92 from
the Prescott campus.
Currently, we are (very slowly) building an XS Mono, A159. We've had a
bit of a course diversion, that being our 2-1/2 year old son, but we're
starting to get back on the proper radial and headed toward the end
target.
The good part of this delay is we've got Nathan (our son) properly
'geeked out' on airplanes already, so he is a future propeller-head.
Best regards!
Chris Beck

flight.
The computer is on my home wireless network so when the planes in the garage
I can login to it.
