Shannon,
Yes, it is. I wouldn't have been in the air if Dale Kramer hadn't given me an engine to steal the cylinder off of. One of my engines had cracked three quarters of the way around the head/cylinder while flying a few days earlier near Port Charlotte. The Lazair at 3:57 is, I believe, Dale in a factory machine that was covered in silver metalized Mylar. That was at a Lakeland fly-in where an aileron fell off the plane and Dale landed off airport to retrieve it, then waved down a motorist to take it back to the UL airfield for him. I remember seeing the chrome-like aileron sticking up above the crowd as the fellow walked around trying to find Dale.
I've emailed Chuck for info on the full video, and I'll post any I get here. Thanks for the heads-up!
