News 08-31-2007 George Graham, an outstanding member of the canard community passed away August 23rd, 2007 after a short illness. Many of you probably know that George was a superb innovator. George built a fixed gear canard based on the E-Racer that was powered by a Mazda rotary engine. Not having an inexpensive PSRU option available, George modified an RX7 transmission to drive the prop on his creation. He was able to log several hundred hours using this combination. A true believer in cheap rotary power he was quick to help others copy his design for the PSRU and Mazda rotary installation. News 07-20-2007 Northrop Grumman has purchased Scaled Composites .

News 09-21-2006 There seems to be new reports on the C-A list about a virus on ez.org. Waiter has reported files with the names of lsdmain.info and telecarrier[1].htm. There are no files that refer to http://www.lsdman.info or telecarrier[1].htm on ez.org. However after some testing I determined that the google ad's at the top of the page were loading a hidden iframe that contained a link to lsdman.info. I checked the owner of lsdman.info and it does not appear to be google, it is registered to a Moscow, RU address. It does appear that Google has some type of virus that has gotten into their ad system but I would not jump to conclusions. This may be legit. I have disabled the ad's and will be following up. News 09-13-2006 There have been reports on the Canard Aviators list about a virus on ez.org. We have scanned all the files and there is was no virus found by AVG on any file. Harley Dixon contacted AVG and the response is below: This problem seems to be really false positive as there aren't any suspicious virus codes in there displayed. I suggest, you might contact the owner of the website (or exactly the webserver) to perform a whole scan of their system for any malicious code. Thank you. Best regards, Jiri Tuma AVG Technical Support News 07-07-2006 The July CSA photo's are loaded! Many CSA members emailed asking when the pictures would be ready.
