I don't throw dancing bananas around lightly but Saturday was certainly a triple banana day.

The first flight of our chapter Waiex went off without a hitch:ban::ban::ban:


The test pilot was Mike Singleton (a good friend of our chapter) from the Houston area. This was his 13th. Sonex/Waiex "maiden flight". Mike was as cool as a cucumber but my knees were shaking 'like a hound dog pooping a peach pit'. ...it's like putting your daughter on the school bus for the first time :gig:
