rpellicciotti Posted October 23, 2007 Author Share Posted October 23, 2007 The race is shaping up and we have about 30 entries! The weather looks like it will be good. I think we are going to have a great race! Some of the local racers made a practice run around the course last Saturday. The weather was beautiful and we got some good pictures (attached). Notice the two "rogue" homebuilts with retracts that are not supposed to have them.

satch Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 Is that retracts on an RV-8? How / who did that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rpellicciotti Posted October 24, 2007 Author Share Posted October 24, 2007 Is that retracts on an RV-8? How / who did that! Actually it is a RV-4. I don't know too much about it. The fellow that owns it now did not build it. I believe that airplane was built by an Air Force pilot up north somewhere. It basically uses the retract system and gear for a homebuilt called a Celerity. I have some video of the airplane somewhere. I'll see if I can find it and post it.

rpellicciotti Posted October 10, 2008 Author Share Posted October 10, 2008 Just a reminder, the Memphis 100 Air Race is a go for next weekend, October 18th. We have a couple of canard aircraft registered but I sure would like to see some more show up!

longezdave Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 I'll be there Rick! It will be my first race and I just want to see what it's all about and meet the other racers. It would be great if some more canard types would come out for moral support. Better yet, enter and get in on the fun.
