Article and
Pictures from
an email from Rich Moroniak
An excited Rich Moroniak sent me this a while back:
Hey Brian,
I thought I'd attach some pictures of my new GT400 that should FINALLY be hauled out with the help of Al Kammerer the weekend of 8-6. The wings were put on temporarily for some pics at my garage. I'll get new pics in once I complete final assembly at Cushing.
Brief notes:
WELL, AFTER WORKING ON THIS PUPPY EVERY WEEKEND SINCE NOVEMBER, IT'S FINALLY LOOKING LIKE AN AIRPLANE, AND IT SHOULD BE OUT AT CUSHING THE WEEKEND OF AUG. 6TH WITH THE GREATFUL HELP OF AL KAMMERER AND HIS CUSTOM TRAILER.
LET'S SEE...THE BROCHURE SAID FIRST TIME BUILDERS CAN EXPECT TO COMPLETE IN 60 TO 90 HOURS. HMMM...I ESTIMATED ABOUT 420 HOURS. I MUST HAVE GOTTEN THE WRONG BROCHURE FROM QUICKSILVER.
ANYWAY...AFTER FINAL ASSEMBLY AT CUSHING, SOME FINAL INSPECTIONS, WEIGHT AND BALANCE, ENGINE BREAK-IN AND A COUPLE OF HOURS IN A BORROWED GT500 WITH LARRY GEHRIG, I SHOULD STILL HAVE SOME DECENT FLYING WEATHER LEFT FOR 2005.
I'M FINALLY REALLY GETTING EXCITED...NOW THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKIN' ABOUT !! HOPE TO JOIN YOU ALL ON SOME FLY-INS AS SOON AS IS POSSIBLE.
Where To Now?
