Aussie DE at Airshow Downunder
« on: December 02, 2015, 12:19:00 PM »
We got a invite from Recreational Aviation Australia to put the DE on show at the Temora Aviation Museum "Warbirds Down Under" Airshow (20,000 + people)
The RAA wanted to put an example of 2 different aircraft, factory built and a scratch build plane on show to try and foster flying and building your own plane, after 2 days 95% of the people coming through the display just wanted to look at the DE,  We did get to taxi it past the crowd at the end of each day.
