    Re: another nxt

    Should be interesting. Dan Wright is a good guy and a very serious racer! I assume this will appear in 2005, along with Jon in NXT #1. Anybody know of more NXTs in construction?

      This almost sounds as though Sharp's NXT #1 won't be racing until 2005 either... True?

        Re: another nxt

        If I didn't know better, the profile picture is damn near the same as the Pond Racer. Cockpit a little more forward, but if you squint your eyes, you would have to swear, I KNOW I HAVE SEEN THIS AIRPLANE SOMEWHERE BEFORE. Just an interesting thought I just had. Anyone else see it?

            You're right, it does look a bit like the pond racer in profile. If you squint really hard, you can imagine a twin nxt, P-82 style, in the unlimited class.

              A twin NXT!? I'm glad I wasn't the only one thinking it! NXT Squared! Now where did I leave that quarter million dollars for two NXT kits...?

                I recall a post on an earlier thread by Jon Sharp, that there are five NXT kits currently under construction, at least three of which are racers. Dan Wright's NXT appears to be almost complete. Will there be TWO NXT's at Reno this year?

                    I saw it too. I also now realize that it is a side by side seated..wonder if a fourseater was possible too ?

                    Cool looking speedster.

                        Am I the only one that had to do a double take at the name Kevin Eldredge? (it's spelled different though.)

                        Maybe it's just me...that happens allot.

                            No NXT at Oshkosh yet..word is he's having gear problems? Rumor is the gear is wanting to stick in the well ever few flights...not sure how credible this info is, that's just the word going around the Reno Air Racing tent at Oshkosh.

                              Might be true. Look at the first flight photo... The Inner doors are closed (with the gear down) and the outer doors are removed.
