I had long read about Leeon's DA-11, the mower-engine powered aircraft. There wasn't much about Leeon and his airplane online but I saved what little tidbits I could find. Now years later I find out Leeon has passed but his legacy lives on. He was a very well respected man in the homebuilt aviation world. I'm really sorry I never got to meet this wonderful man. See you later Leeon!
