I have a friend just south of Havana that builds. He has done it for 30 years. Is that close enough for you?

I second the vote for Roger Kapraun, a couple of our club members have had large to giant scales built by Roger. He does good work and is reasonably priced.

Give him a ring, you'll find him easy to visit with.

I've seen his work and Roger Kapraun is a great builder...and has his own flying field...you could test fly it the day it is finished before you even take it home
