RE: Classic Beetle Pattern Plane
I was very close to buying this plane a couple of weeks ago. Traveling through Arkansas helps with the shipping costs. Apparently it was built with a flying stab, but was damaged when a gust of wind flipped it on it's back. To stay in the tournament the stab was epoxied and elevators were installed. Looks to be a project plane in my opinion. I wanted the plane for the belly pan if nothing else as that is the only major item I need. Unfortunately that has a lot of wear and tear on this plane.
