“Last of the Mohicans.” A nice Glastar in the homebuilt area, but can we call it that anymore? This page best viewed at 800×600 or better

“Snake bit.” The Viperjet, homebuilt 2-place jet, draws a crowd. This aircraft is powered by a T-55 helicopter conversion. It’s more efficient and they get about 40 gallons to the hour. We’ve guestimated that they can get a top speed of about 350 kts. This page best viewed at 800×600 or better
