| On August 30, 1992, at 8:15 a.m., on a warm Sunday morning, Mike Arnold flew the AR-5 through the three kilometer traps north of Davis, CA at 213.18 mph, setting a new world speed record in FAI Class C1aO (under 661 pounds gross). What a thrill! Details the engine installation and the airframe's structural design, and completely demonstrates the easy moldless, hot-wired, foam and fiberglass construction process used on the fuselage, wing and tail services. Almost 2 hours. Chapters: 1. Crash at Lake Berryessa 2. Engine installation 3. Sandwich structure basics talk 4. Inspection panels and gaps 5. Hot wiring a wing 6. Sanding wing core 7.
