I'll be there. I got four hours of flying solo in the Swift over the weekend, and something like 18 touch and goes. Thanks to the draggy gear and huge flaps, it lands in about half the distance the KR would land in. But it burns twice the fuel, doesn't go quite as fast, and it's just about impossible for me to roll that big beast around by myself. The cool factor is rather high though, and it'll give me something to fly until I get the next experimental done. The sliding windows are great for sunsets, and I don't even notice the wind, as long as I only open one at a time. See http://www.n56ml.com/sunsets/120116-072m.jpg for a sunset and a Swift slotted wing in the foreground. But don't think it comes close to beating the KR. The KR is a lot more fun, a more user friendly airplane for what I do, and a lot cheaper to fly. The KR is just about perfect...
