Congratulations again Collin,
nice looking RF5b! I´ll try to remember to scan the flight manual of SE-UDI.
A tip is to write a very nice letter to Eugenio, he might have a few left of the landing gear door springs- the original ones- that he had done.

Va bene- sempre in giro, Eugenio!
Collin, I have the maintenance manual in english but the flight manual for SE-UDI is in German (Flughandbuch). Quite a lot of divergence in dialects in the United States of Europe- sorry, the European Union I mean. If that´s of any use to you I could scan it for ya. Keep me (pardon the pun) posted!

Hello,
I have the maintenance in English. I will check with the pass owner if he has the manual.
Here is a link to Sammy's and friends article.

Thanks for posting the article Collin!
with almost all articles there are a few mistakes,
I was Named after my grandpa not my uncle
My dad said 500 foot hard deck not 5000
and we all have quite alot more hours then stated.
Still a great article!

A Fournier on the cover of AOPA pilot magazine would be nice, but then again a lot of tin can pilots and air traffic controllers would become aware of us and the fact that we´re flying the probably best and cheapest stealth aircraft there is (Wood is invisible to radar).
I think we´d better continue to stay "under cover".....

Yeah,
That stealth thing really works.
Over the years I have snuck through the edges of various control zones to avoid bad weather over the hills.
With no transponder and a mostly wood airframe, plus being down on the deck in the valleys, in the drizzle, I have yet to be caught!
You should have seen me beetling home from the London Red Bull thing.
Cloudbase was well below 1,000 feet, although the vis below was fine.
Strong headwind, rushing to get back to see it on TV.
I had to nip close around the edges of several airfield and airport zones (you won't get me admitting to entering them without a clearance).
Listened on the frequencies, looked hard at the towers for red lights.... nothing.
And the towers were close enough to see.
Tee hee.
Well, anyway, who would be fool enough to try and fly in that kind of weather, so there would not have been anybody else around to conflict with, would there?
Wood rules!
Yours, Bob
