Thanks Bill for organizing this group. It will be interesting to see how many Nosen 310's are still flying. I would love to know how many kits Bud and A&A Industries sold, what percentage were built and of course how many still survive. This 310 is now 27 years old. The full scale version of N3700G who's color scheme I copied was hangered at the local county airport in 1982. I checked on N3700G on the NTSB web page. It has been sold several times and found it was involved in at least 2 accidents!. The first was a failure to lower the landing gear when he touched down resulting in major damage. I believe it happened in Colorado. The pilot was fighting severe weather and simply failed to drop them. In the second accident the pilot forgot to switch back to the main tanks and ran N3700G out of gas. He landed north of Hatch, New Mexico in the middle of the desert. The gear stayed up, so it was recovered and I believe repaired.
