Hello
I convinced a friend to buy a Skybolt with the condition I would teach him some aero's. It is in a 40' container with a little something for me, probably near Korea at the moment. I am still building the 2XS so please dont kick me off the forum.


Here are some pics of it being packed and loaded:

I can highly recommend Cliff Coy at Border Air, nice guy and as you can see by these photo's knows what he is doing.


This Skybolt is 180hp with a fixed pitch Prince prop.


I have a little bit of Pitts time and have never flown a Skybolt. I was looking for some advice on speeds etc, anything else I should know would be awesome.


I will post some more photo's soon.
