Hello Paul,

I hope you made it back home in one piece.

The ‘08 Oshkosh experience was mind boggling for me. I did not expect all of the attention that the Junior Ace received.

The people that came by thought that the airframe, engine, and wheel combination were perfect.
We made it through two rounds of judging – which meant that we were in contention for an award. The fact that the ship was still a bit rough made me feel that we did not deserve an award at this time (we did not win anything). It sure is nice to know that with a little time and tweaking, she will be an award winner.

An editor for Sport Aviation magazine interviewed me extensively. They also invited me on a photo shoot.

I believe my wife came over to tell you about the departure time. The battery in the Ace is five years old, and with all of the cranking we did during the ignition woes, she has become a bit weak. The ship sat in the tent for six days. At Oshkosh – in front of a few hundred people – the engine would not turn over. How embarrassing! The EAA safety volunteer propped us, and we were on our way! The crowd then cheered. We departed on 36, and made an air show break at midfield. Big fun!

The Acro Sport folks sold a lot of plans, and said my Ace was a shot in the arm for them. I hope the interest helps your sales as well. I had nothing but positive things to say about the engine and your support to all the folks who inquired about a Rotec product.

In a subsequent email on the 12th August 2008 Tim writes:

Hello Jim and Paul,

Oshkosh 2008 was a blur for me! The attention generated by the Junior Ace was way beyond my imagination. Seven different people helped to fly off the 40 hour FAA test period in the three weeks prior to Airventure 2008. They all said the plane flew wonderfully and the R2800 was flawless. There are still some finish details to work on – she should be ready for a proper inspection at Oshkosh next year.

Sport Aviation interviewed me while at Oshkosh. They also invited me to a photo shoot - another unexpected surprise. We briefed Saturday morning, to fly in the afternoon at Waupaca, Wisconsin. We were all set to go. My five year old battery, however, was not. I had to get propped at Oshkosh in front of one hundred spectators. I will have a new battery next year!

Enclosed are some pictures of my experience – enjoy!
