                  POKIN’ THE BEAR

              
An article written by Dick VanGrunsven concerning possible
        changes in FAA certification procedures appeared in the February,
        2008, issue of EAA’s flagship magazine, Sport Aviation. In that article,
        there was a reference to an article that appeared in the Fourth Issue of
        the 2007 RVator. That article is reprinted here.

"Aero-Lift" in the factory hangar.


We often have between 7 to 8 planes parked in the factory hangar at nights, which makes for tight quarters. The Aero-Lift in our hangar definitely helps reduce the 'squeeze' factor!
