Oshkosh, 2000 - Waking up on a cool morning to the sound of radial engines, crawling out of the tent, and saying "good-morning" to your Hatz. Bumming coffee from the neighbors who actually have room for a camp-stove and watching the rising sun sparkle against the dew-covered Hatz. - Photo and text, courtesy of Brad Kramer, Hatz #237 |

No electrics and built to plans except that upper wing is 2 inches higher. That runway looks a tad short before the hedgerow, but the wind's good. |

Just how did we get it OUT of the hangar? |
