  • Been a lot of work over the past 3 years getting the Traveler up and running. Mine was the second prototype and used to make a lot of jigs, and figure out a lot of changes from rev1. Also Clint has been patient to let me do a sort of builder assist type project here when I am able to get up to SD and work on it. The finish line is in site. Yet.... it also feels a little like a so close, yet so far away situation as the wiring/panel is pretty tedious and time consuming. But... the BLT will be born soon!! Thanks for following this journey!

    Thats exciting. That sounds like the perfect plane. The cruise speeds are amazing especially when you consider how slow you can land. A constant speed prop would be amazing on this plane.

    Winning STOL competitions, cruising 135, stalling 28? Game over

    Can't wait to see it in person someday, Todd! Looks awesome! ... You should get Clint, Levi, & crew on camera for more interviews if you can talk them into it.

    So, you'll be done and bringing it to Oshkosh! ;) What's the info on those seat cushions? Seriously look comfortable.

    Man, I can't wait to see the end result of this and how the 'kits' come out. Why would you ever build a kitfox or other design with this guy out in the wild? I personally love metal wings vs fabric as well, and the windows and access panels folding away are all icing on the cake. I'll take two, where do I sign? :P

    Are they planning on selling these as kits or ready to fly?

    Get rid of those silly plastic brake lines and the fittings they use. For a couple more ounces you can have a regular aircraft brake system. Check out the Tunda tailwheel.

      I am not criticizing you but have you ever made brake lines? That crazy plastic is what is inside the stainless braiding on aeroquip line as well as all other brands. The braiding is basically a protective cover.

    G,day from Sydney Australia. Do you have any preference between shock absorbers or "bungee cord O rings to dampen landing impact through the triangle frame (landing gear)🦘🌏
