Today Izzy and I speak with Nate Mullins, founder of 3:23 Composites LLC.

Nate grew up in Spokane, WA and spent his teen years building countless RC aircraft. He also formed a band and toured the country, eventually landing in Nashville, TN. Nate continued to chase the music business but also worked as a business banker. Here’s an interesting tidbit, he worked for the Hobby Lobby RC superstore designing and testing new RC aircraft. 

2010 was a big year for Nate, he got married and started his flight training. That is when his passion shifted from music to aviation. He earned his PPL in 2011 and worked as the airport manager at the Springfield, TN airport, M91. That’s when he decided to build a LongEZ and N316NM was completed in 2014. 

Nate recognized a need in the industry for quality composite services so in 2016 he founded 3:23 Composites LLC. 3:23 provides mobile composite services as well as custom parts for the Rutan line of aircraft. Nate is currently in the process of designing an all new tandem canard with the goal of jet performance on a piston budget.
