Anyways here's the original with a bunch of other cool stuff on their page. https://www.instagram.com/p/BpXSiZdg...n_native_share
Oh My, that was Great Briankirk725! Quite the rabbit hole this morning and his instagram main page is a treasure trove of shots and posts...I loved one of the posts that said..."That doesn't look like a helicopter". LOL The shot of the Glacier fly by was stunning and my favorite.

Looks to me that the SQ12 has gone through many a iterations including the rudder designs. Continual tweaking, some minor, some more substantial, all in that mode of finding the right combo in a EAA cutting edge quest for perfection...but the flying of it and joy of the journey's and sights with the camaraderie of those cutting that edge is what it's about to me.

Found this interview with Wayne Mackey on the EAA site. Inspiration for those interested and in the spirit of HMT! Watch his expressions...worth the few minutes to learn a little of what goes on with STOL and experimental aircraft.
