Most of you have heard by now that the HoneyBee G2™ Two Place Tandem is flying wonderfully. In fact it is flying so well that no changes are going to be made to the airframe. The Phase I Flight Testing has included all normal operation maneuvers and pitch stability testing in some extreme conditions. We are thrilled by how the aircraft has performed.
In spite of this very positive beginning, we feel that a trip of the 2011 ROTR (long distance & high altitude) is slightly premature and ambitious at this stage of the project. This decision to rethink attending is mainly due to the time crunch in getting the Turbocharging System onto the Suzuki and perfecting it over the next 25 days.
For those that were coming to the event to see the aircraft, go for a ride or just to talk, please accept my personal apology for this change in the Summer Plans. If you were coming to see the aircraft please write me so that I can connect with you at a later date. We will be heading West, just not to this year’s ROTR Event.
Sincerely,
Jim
