Will Mathews’ record setting White Lightning, #43 “Moonshine” A winner at the Reno National Air Races
Design It.
It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to fly faster. Maybe you want to turn your vision into a reality and share it with the world.
Will Mathews wanted to shock the Reno Air Racing world by showing up and winning with Moonshine, an air-racer that used an Auxillary Boost Unit, (ABU) that boosted 60” of pressure to the main aircraft engine.
We helped design, build, test and race #43, achieving 301 MPH while banked at 45-60 degrees around the Reno racecourse.
Whatever your goal, we can help. We have over 30 years extensive design experience and can help you realize your dreams.
