Yep, that is Adam. About to turn 21 and halfway through a master's degree in mechanical engineering. He logged 600+ hours of build time.

Congratulations Brian. Is that you flying her? Best landing I have ever seen. Did you have some training in a Sonex?

Thanks Ron! That was me. I had one flight in Josh's Sonex back in 2017. I have a bunch of hours (for a hobbyist) and many different types, so it wasn't hard to adapt. Plus, sometimes I get lucky.
