:-) Well, you will barely see any of me (as far as I know), and my plane is only one of nine. One of the other guys installed an 8 foot Mythbusters decal on his wing... and got some attention for that. But my plane should have some good time in the background while Grant explains the findings. Never met Jamie and Adam but spent the better part of 2 days hanging out with Keri, Grant and Torrie... who happened to love my electric skateboard.
I seriously doubt that there will be any mention of the rotary engine.
Funny story, they hired a helicopter to come film us.. paying big$$. We were hanging out with the pilot trying to talk airplanes but he was a little aloof and at one point make the comment that the thing that worried him was "all you scarry experimentals".. But when we went up to do the shoot, he got a chip light and had to do an emergency landing... we had 9 aircraft over 2 days and over 40 sorties without a single maintenance issue while he didn't complete his single sortie.. and really took a lot away from some of the images we could have had. He didn't talk to us after that :-)

Hi All,
I thought you might be interested to know that my plane is going to get some air time on Mythbusters tomorrow night. The myth is investigating why geese fly in formation and we did some testing.
The episode is called "Toilet Bomb" (because of the other myth in the episode) and it first air Wed Nov 30th on the Discovery Channel. You will have to check your local listings for the time. Here it is a 6 and 8pm but it varies by location.
Mine is the Blue plane with stars and bars. Enjoy..
