From General Aviation News today:
REMOS appoints Gretchen Jahn COO
Posted by Janice Wood · July 4, 2010
Gretchen Jahn has been appointed Chief Operating Officer for REMOS Aircraft. Jahn brings more than 30 years of entrepreneurial experience in manufacturing, IT and aviation leadership to her new position. She’s also been a pilot and aircraft owner for more than 20 years.
Jahn was most recently director of Knotridge, Limited and provided strategic consulting services to businesses in aviation and manufacturing industries. Prior to leading Knotridge, she was the general manager of Alpha Aviation Ltd of New Zealand and CEO of Mooney Airplane Co. During her tenure with Mooney, she managed to double the production rate, bring two new models to market and solidify the bond that Mooney owners had with the factory, REMOS officials note.
“It is my pleasure to have this opportunity to join a fabulous company like REMOS Aircraft,” commented Jahn. “It is our goal to demonstrate a level of commitment to our customers that will build confidence in the REMOS brand and will truly set us apart from every other Light Sport Aircraft being manufactured today.”
Jahn received her BA with honors from Lawrence University and her MA from the University of Colorado. She also obtained her Certificate in Integrated Resource Management (CIRM) from the American Production and Inventory Control Society (APICS). As an avid pilot for 20 years, she is a member of the 99s, the Colorado Pilots Association and on the board of the Air Race Classic, Inc., and competes in cross-country air racing. |

She sounds very interesting, I wish her and her company good things.
And now if I may 2 questions for her.
1. Have you filled up a gx with fuel and were there any suprises? :o
2. Does anyone make a fuel measuring stick for a gx. The unmarked straw ain't telling me everything I'd like to know.
Other than that I really like your plane. :idea: |

I marked my G3's fuel sight tube with 5 gallon marks too. It's linear so you can eyeball it to within 1 gallon.

I really like the gx so far, I've only flown it twice, but wouldn't you assume that could be marked at the factory. also if you're not careful you will wear fuel while filling.
I flew it wed. doors off. awesome |
