 From the March 2000 Newsletter: My airplane is a Thorp T-18, built by Grover Rahiser of Ocala, Florida. It took Grover 12 years to build - ending with the first test flight (flown by Vernon Thorp) on 8 June 1988. I bought it on 25 September 1999. It currently has 168hrs TT. It has an O-320 and wood prop. At 3K feet, 2350 rpm, I get 155 mph. The avionics are simple with one radio and one VOR. I'm in the market for a hand-held GPS. It is based at Yellow River airport in Holt where I fly any fair-weather weekend I'm in town. Jim Grahn |
