Extremely sad news about Mike.................I and the group followed his 13B/RV4 build with

all the usual trials and tribulations along the way..................I enjoyed several E mails back

and forth over the years as his project progressed and considered him one of our more

thoughtful and talented builders and friend even though we had not met in person...........

My thoughts are with his family during this difficult time.............

Sorry to report that we lost a fine friend and fellow rotor-head yesterday.

Mike Wills was doing what he loved (flying, this time in a glider) when apparently he ran out of thermal lift and couldn't find more before having to make an off field landing. Very few facts in yet but sounds like a wing clipped a tree before he went in. He will be missed.
