Kitplanes & the S-7

Hey! Just got my February 2010 Kitplanes and who should be gracing the feature article on the RANS S-7? Greg Swingle! There is a great full page picture of Greg's S-7 up in Alaska on page 7!

Greg shares the article with several other builders and flyers of the S-7. Maybe some of them are on this forum also and it is my fault if I didn't recognize them. It is a nice reading story and if you don't subscribe to Kitplanes you should rush right out and buy a copy. In addition, there is a second article on the Just Highlander! =D>

The S7 was just named best in the e-lsa class by Aero-News network today too. They didn't mention Greg though, his publicist must be slipping.
