Steve Rahm
is the designer of the Vision. On December 4-5th, 2001 I flew to
Daytona from Chicago and met with him to check out his plane and talk about the 4-place
Vision. The Vision proto-type after having flown successfully with
conventional landing gear is in the process of a few upgrades. The
new tricycle landing gear is in place - converting from a tail dragger to a
tri-gear. Also the new engine mount and cowling are coming together.
It
was great meeting with Steve and picking his brain and bouncing ideas off him on
the 4-place.

that forms easily and provides nice temporary backing for compound
curves. It is usually sold as gratin to be used over a roof rain
gutter. I used this successfully in creating my wing fillets 5 years
later.
