Running-in the DL50 engine on the ground, first tank of petrol.

Dwayne (Fonz) prop-hanging his Extra330L, also powered by the DL50 engine.

She loves to dance in the air :)

Landing her is so unbelievable, she floats very well, 3-pointer landings are so nice...

Ian's Edge540T at Polo Field (J.B.) flown by Dwayne (Fonz).

Prop hang at 40% throttle....The DL50 is way overpowered for this light airframe, which is a good thing for doing 3D flying! I like this plane-engine combo! :)

Ian (right) and me with our Edge540Ts

New fonts and JR logos addedd...

Good to bring your spouse to the flying field sometimes... =)

Learning to prop-hang...

I'm absolutely happy with this engine-plane combination!
