"Clotilde" flew for the first time on May 29, 1999. My wife and I built it in 6 years. Clotilde has a Garmin 327, 430W, TRIO EZ-Pilot, Altrak altitude hold, Dynon Skyview, D10A, KX 125, O360-A1A and a Aluminum Sensenich propeller. Clotilde is based at T.P. McCampbell Airport where Peggy and Gus have decided to make their new home since 2009.
Thank you for visiting

Annual Inspection
Clotilde is undergoing annual inspection. All is going well but it will take a few weeks before returning to flight status. I have taken this opportunity to send the nose gear leg for inspection to Van's. If all is the analysis shows that the leg is in good condition and no cracks are found the leg will not be replaced otherwise a new leg, fork and possibly nose wheel pant will be replaced.
New tow bar - March 2007
I built a tow bar to pull Clotilde from the hangar to the gas pump and back using our John Deer lawn mower. I actually copied the design from our friend Jon Allen. It is built using 2 x 2 and 1 x 1 square steel stock and welding together. I will publish pictures of this design. It works quite well. Thanks John.
