Aerochia News! (Updated May, 2007)

NXT project #1
This is Ken Ross’s new project (an NXT), with a GTISO Continental engine. It will be ready for next year. He will be racing under the care of the Aerochia racing team.

NXT project #2
The airframe is being finalized, and we will be fitting the 12 cylinder diesel engine to the firewall very soon. Then it will be send it to a test cell for testing. We plan on taking the plane to Reno this year so people can see our future race plane.

LT is coming along.
I just finished making the wing ribs (12 molds later!) and fit the wing to airframe. The instrument panel is finished and installed (thanks John), engine and the landing gear made. It is fun to see all the major parts finally come together. My next plan is to finish the wing and bodywork the airframe. And then comes the testing!

Lancair Legacy overhaul
We just finished a legacy rebuild for Kent Jackson, He had over 1000 hours on his legacy and it was time for an overhaul. We gave it the old Aerochia TLC and he is up and flying once again. He is as happy as can be.

What’s Darryl up to?
He keeps telling me that he is retired….yea right. In between his golf games and working with me on his plane, he somehow finds some free time to rebuild his Tiger Cat.

Aerochia Race Team
we are in the process of making some major changes to Darryl’s engine. In the next few months I plan on having him back in the air and doing flight testing with Rod.

We were very happy with Roger Von Grote's performance at last years race and are pleased to have him back at the controls of Darryl’s plane this year. With all the new changes to the plane and Rogers’s proven racing skills, we predict we will see more speed at this year’s race!

Darryl and I will be once again running the telemetry on the ground during the race week, and the rest of the Aerochia team will help me keep racer 33 in the air for the entire race week. We never give up!

We will also pitting for the Lynn Farnsworth plane again. He also has some new changes to his plane so expect to some more speed from Lynn as well.

We also expect to see another one of are customers Super Legacy racing for the first time this year.

All in all it’s going to be a fun race this year. And like always full of challenges. Click here for something to keep you going until September.
