Missionary/visionary takes flying car prototype to Wisconsin fly-in - Ocala
Steve Saint drove the Maverick Sport flying car, complete with a 6-foot rear-mounted aircraft propeller, into the Pilot Travel Center on County Road 484 at I-75 Saturday to gas up -- causing a commotion at pump three.
The 987-pound machine - which bears aircraft tail number N91MV - has a 75-inch belt driven propeller on the rear that is used during flight.
Saint, founder of Dunnellon based i-Tec (The Indigenous People’s Technology and Education Ministry Center), said the idea for a short takeoff and landing all-terrain car, plane and airboat sprang from his family’s missionary work in remote areas in Ecuador. ...
So how does Saint plan to get his flying car to the upcoming Oshkosk Fly-In in Wisconsin?
He’s going to drive.
“It’s so new the Federal Avaition Administration couldn’t get all the necessary paperwork filed in time [to fly up],” he said.
The crew will depart today from Dunnellon. Saint plans to post a daily blog at www.mavericklsa.com so people can track his progress.

Parachutists sail over Plattsmouth Airport during weekend - The Journal
PLATTSMOUTH - Omaha resident Steve Fauglid had just gotten up off the ground after finishing his tandem parachute ride early Friday night when his girlfriend Marsha Niemann sailed onto the grass at Plattsmouth Municipal Airport.
They exchanged wide smiles before Niemann summed up her first-ever parachute ride with an excited string of words.
"That was the best thing I've ever done," Niemann said. "Absolutely the best thing ever. I'd do that again in a heartbeat."
Fauglid and Niemann joined dozens of other parachutists from across the country at Lincoln Sport Parachute Club's annual Redemption Boogie at the Plattsmouth airport July 15-18. The event gave experienced parachutists an opportunity to sail through ...

Timing is Everything with Controlled Impedance Fabrication - pcbdesign007
I want to start out this column a little differently by sharing a true story I heard when I was about 14 years old. In June 1970, the British Aerobatic Champion Neil Williams was practicing for the upcoming World Aerobatic Championships in Hullavington, England.
Neil was flying his single-seat Zlin Akrobat in a shallow pull-up at less than 2,000 feet when he heard a loud bang. The lower left wing bolt had broken and the wing began to fold over towards him. He had on no chute that day, as a chute just added weight and would not have helped at that altitude anyway.
This man had the presence of mind to realize his predicament, and in a split second he rolled the Zlin to the right in a semi-outside snap roll and locked the wing back into position. ...

The shot above is an additional angle. The primary angle is handled by the camera that you see on the left edge of the frame. ...
