My friend Dan Gray is flying a Twin-Jet Bede that he built. Flights are done at KCMA. First flight was last Friday and the plane came down gear-up (not for lack of trying) and slid 1,200 ft. down the runway. Not much damage and on Tuesday it went back into the air. I did a short video of the ground prep, taxi-out, take-off and landing.

Dan is a builder and test pilot-extraordinaire. He did my initial Stallion test flights. Enjoy.

There was another flight today for stall testing, etc. Small engine flamed out... More details to come.

Blue skies,

Tom

P.S. the White Lightning that I reported on at SZP, Santa Paula, is now at Camarillo in the hangar next to where the Bede flies from.... Will post a picture when I bump into the WL thread again.
