Another of Robert Baslee’s Airdrome Aeroplane kit planes got its airworthiness certificate on February 22, 2016. I started construction in August of 2010. The aircraft is powered by a 2332 cc VW with a PRSU turning a 101 inch propeller. The airplane is finished in the colors of the first squadron commander of the 94th Pursuit Squadron, Major John (or Jean) Huffer. It is based at Hoelting Field, Basehor, Kansas (SN22.) I hope to fly to to Air Venture and the USAF WWI fly in this year.

X Marks the Spot
Light and slow, yet lacking control skittishness, the X-Air is a simple and fun way to go nowhere in particular. By Bob Grimstead.
The Home Machinist
Charlie Taylor, the Wright brothers trusted right-hand man and machinist, made their early powered flight experiments possible. And he built the engine using only a drill press, a lathe, a simple scale and more than a little ingenuity; by Bob Fritz.
