Happy "EVERY DAY" Chris.

And congratulation on your recognition. You are at least as deserving of your reward as that Lindbergh fellow was.

I met you at Sun-N-Fun the year you built the first 701 there... c1988???  It was fascinating to watch.

Chris,

Staying true to your passion to design practical easy to build aircraft for your entire working life is to be admired and respected. I'm sure all of us who have had the pleasure of building one of your aircraft feel grateful for your many contributions. Thank You.

Dear Chris,

I am really impressed with your contribution to aviation all those years, from the stress analysis on the Concorde, to work at Robin as well as to the Zenith series of aircraft. It is your contribution to the light aircraft that we especially remember!

Your design contribution has had a flow on effect as well. Your light-and-strong design with a decided focus on function-over-form has, in turn, inspired others in the aviation to community to design aircraft with your principles clearly in mind.

WELL DONE, a reward well deserved! Congratulations.
