• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

O/T Cessna Fans

Heard of it, seen it, and got to fly in one (a Wren 460)... with Jim Robertson flying it. It IS everything they say and sure makes the average Cessna driver look up as it goes by.
IIRC, Robertson had the designs done for most of the single and TWIN series Cessnas although most aren't as 'exotic' as the Wren or the Peterson kits
