Default What a Beautiful Airplane!

I recently purchased what I believe is Maxey Hester’s prototype Akrobat! See for yourselves. It was acquired from Sig’s development dept before they shut their offices in Montezuma and ended up at my LHS. Knowing its history it’s in remarkable shape. I just had to have it. The question is, do I fly it???





I know this post is old…. I wouldn’t fly it, with its history and that fact that it’s such a good looking airplane I would retire it for good.
