Ed Stembridge
Ed is a retired industrial designer who spent many an hour flying U-control with his dad in the back yard as a kid. He became a Cessna 172 driver in the 1990s after having his hand slapped raw by his instructor for not landing exactly on the numbers, but hasn’t been current in twenty years. The Nieuport is actually not the oldest stalled project in his shop.
