But Les being Les will just shrug it off and say he's glad it's flying. And why didn't my copy of Kitplanes show up yet?

Congratulations Les! Glad they recognized true craftsmanship. Very well deserved.

Break - Break

For a different form of media coverage -- NOVA just released this video documentary today. Check it out - very interesting.

And for the Thorp part of the program go to 40:24 seconds.

"Will electric planes replace polluting airliners and lead to flying taxis in our cities?
Tune in or stream "Great Electric Airplane Race" tonight at 9/8c on @novapbs: https://to.pbs.org/3vNPEGF "

Elbow Bump,
Tony

The video did not do it justice but I recognize a 200 mile an hour pass with a nice pull up on the end when I see one. Nice job Tony
