 NEW!!
This is kind of interesting. It details the tests NASA conducted
into spin research using the Grumman AA-1. "Research
activities picked up again in the early 1960s with a series of
landmark flight studies of the handling qualities of representative
single- and twin-engine general aviation aircraft by the Dryden
Flight Research Center.
The
flight investigations identified poor stalling behavior for several
of the aircraft tested; this stimulated follow-on wind-tunnel
studies of a series of twin-engine full-scale aircraft in the
Langley 30- by 60-Foot (Full-Scale) Tunnel."

 NEW!!
Louie came out of his 2005 annual with a new panel and refurbished
interior. We removed all interior pieces (except the
headliner) and each plastic piece received a check up, thorough
cleaning and a new gray color coat.
Jan
outdid himself on the instrument panel. It is a Kokaska panel
with silver powdercoat. Stainless steel buttonhead cap screws
were used to mount the instruments for their ease of use, low
maintanence and clean appearance. The ADF was removed and a new
glove box was fabricated and installed in it's place. Click
