Flying The Fury
J.W.”Corkey” Fornof

First impressions are important; they set the tone for the rest of the meeting. The airplanes that really excite me have to be fast, fun and sexy.  The Lopresti Fury has that appearance. During my first flight I discovered its beauty wasn’t just skin deep - it was just my kind of flying machine: Fast. Fun. Sexy.

Like a fighter with the bubble canopy open, I climbed in and had a flashback. The Fury sits like a P-51 Mustang. It fits like a racing glove with a sports car's feel. The cockpit is spectacular: red leather interior, dual sticks, a full panel and several clever accessories. Most notably is the Taxi-Cam - a 5 inch screen displaying everything in front of you for safe taxiing. I discovered during my flight that it has many uses other than safe taxiing. When climbing out you have clear vision in front of you in all quadrants. You can also use it to record your aerobatics and when you shoot down your friend you can down-load the video clip and email it to him as proof. Haha! Gotcha! The throttle is unique with the cowl and wing flap switches sitting atop it for hands on throttle accessibility, as it should be (HOTAS).

The wide landing gear makes for safe easy handling - whether taxiing, taking off or landing. The Fury is an easy tail dragger to transition into. The acceleration on take off is brisk lifting off around 55 to 60 KTS. In the air I had another flashback. The Fury feels like a fighter with light, quick and firm positive control in all axes. The control system is all push tubes and as smooth as any airplane I have ever flown.

Aerobatics are a breeze.  As I played with the Fury I realized I could do everything I did in the Mustang except go 500 MPH. It amazed me how much the Fury was like a WWII Fighter. From the panoramic visibility of the canopy to the crisp response and performance, it was spectacular! . Roy definitely knew what he was doing with the Fury.  He had combined a flying machine that you can toss around the sky for fun and a cross country airplane like a very fast Bonanza. “Thank you Roy!”

The Fury put a smile on my face like the one I had after my first real kiss.  You know the one - a little wicked and you wonder: "is this legal?"




Taxiing in I had but one thought: "When can I fly it again?"
