Wright Flyer III
Re-creating history
in Dayton
Timothy R. Gaffney
It’s an attitude many
aircraft homebuilders
might have with their first
timid inquiries about a
kit or a set of plans: a
mixture of curiosity and
humility with a dash of
trepidation, blended with
an nexplicable desire to
fly on wings of one’s own
making.

Life Is Good
Lynn M. Gardner
My celebration began with an idea to build
my own airplane. I was fast approaching
the 10-year anniversary of my recovery from
cancer and for the first time in my life had a
good job within my chosen profession. |

Hand Tool Construction
Traditional effort turns raw materials
into Midget Mustang
Scott Spangler
At a round, glass-topped table in the back
corner of his hangar, Tom Wood shuffles
unstable stacks of color photographs. They
document more than 15 years of work that
turned raw materials into the black Midget
Mustang that stands about 15 feet away,
patiently awaiting its next flight. |

Risky Business
Managing mechanical risk
on extended cross-countries
Douglas Devries
According to the 2006 Nall Report, 16.2
percent of all general aviation accidents are
traced to mechanical or maintenance causes.
Not bad, really, when you consider that a
whopping 74.9 percent are caused by us pilots. |

A Chat With Jack Cox
Aviation yesterday, today, and tomorrow
Jim Busha
When the EAA Director of Publications asked
me to interview Jack for an article in EAA
Sport Aviation, I felt honored. We met during
EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2007, and while the
heat, humidity, and surroundings were less
than ideal, none of that seemed to matter to
Jack. |
