During Oshkosh this year I had the pleasure of meeting Ron Dixon. He sat down in our booth and we talked about the early days of Rockford and Oshkosh. He had some neat stories of him and VanGrunsven and others from from the early days of homebuilding. I wish I would have taken notes or recordings and pictures of our discussion. I'm learning to do such things better.
I know there's not much interest in the Minicoupe or the Teenie Two, but they do play a large part in our homebuilding heritage.
Ron mentioned that VanGrunsven and a few others helped Bill Johnson design the Minicoupe. Wish I took notes. I've always liked the Minicoupe and have heard that it is a decent flying airplane. I think it's still a viable design even in our modern times.
Thanks Ron! http://www.theminicoupe.com/
