NXT Kit number 7 was delivered to its new owner, Ron Simard, in Panama, South America this month. This kit is a milestone, for not only for being the first international sale, but also this project was built entirely by SLO Air, Inc. of San Luis Obispo, CA, the new distributor for this stunning kit.

Under the close scrutiny of Jon and Patricia Sharp, Kit 7 was built and shipped from the new manufacturing facility in beautiful San Luis Obispo, California. This marks the formal transition of the manufacturing and direct support of the NXT program to SLO Air Inc. from Nemesis Air Racing.

?This has certainly been an important step for the project and shows we can handle the task of manufacturing and delivering the Nemesis NXT kit. Supporting Mr. Simard is our next task and we are looking forward to making his experience building his NXT an enjoyable one?, states Kevin Eldredge, President of SLO Air Inc.

Mr. Simard took advantage of the expertise at SLO Air by utilizing the Builder Assistance Program. During his 10 day stay in one of the suites at the factory, he completed the fuel cell and trimmed/fitted nearly every part of his new NXT kit. Mr. Simard is an ideal owner for the NXT in that he has built his own Glasair III and has spent the past five years helping several friends complete various other kit aircraft. He is well on his way to building a beautiful NXT and is brimming with ideas for his creation. He has already purchased and received his newly rebuilt Lycoming 720 that he intends on installing in his NXT.
