Welcome to the group. It was formed 27 May 2005. Since then Dick has built a second Nexus Mustang which has now been inspected (June 26 2008) and the first flight will happen as soon as the permit arrives by post. It has a 3 blade MT propeller, a 20 lbs lighter aluminum undercarriage and metal wheel pants. Dick aims to be at Oshkosh 08 with #2 after flying off the 25 hours during July.
