This is the Vision prototype designed/built by Steve Rahm in USA. and still being supported by Pro Composites Ltd. in USA. The aircraft is a 2 seat side by side, scratch built from a series of manuals. Built entirely of fiberglass and carbon cloth material the builder needs to know or learn some of the easy basics of composite construction. Building began Feb. 1998 in my spare time with 7 years where no building was possible. Building Hours at February 28, 2022: 4248.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Some short videos of flights are at: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfxJXIwvmfNlNF3gwplFw7Q

June and July progress

Month of July I got a bit more done between some flying around for fun meeting up with friends at various airports. I bought a ARTEX 406 ELT for the plane and got it all installed. The black box is my Dynon ADAHRS unit with networking cable installed. All of this is located just behind the aft bulkhead of the baggage compartment. Green tube is the push/pull to the elevator with a intermediate idler arm. The octagon is my ground plane for my Transponder antenna.

Installed my Flap controller unit which controls my flaps settings for 5 degrees, 14 and full down at 34 degrees. Now I am beginning the large panel wiring process.

Below is my custom built fiberglass panel which has 4 removable sub panels for instruments.
