Offical results of the Sun & Fun judging in the Homebuilt
category. Our own Jason Hutchinson won the best "Alternative Engine"
award for his great looking RV-6A powered by (of course) a rotary engine..
Sad to hear that the outstanding aircraft Lancair Legacy registered to
Gerard Schkolnik went down 3/4 mile from runway after taking off Sunday
causing fatal injury to the pilot.
Fly safely, guys and gals
