Default RE: coverite's Gee Bee model E

The Model D flies like a low-winged trainer. It was my first low-wing plane back in the late 80's and I used to fly it from the street, curb and all. A year or so ago I found a Canadian company who purchased the Coverite rights. They laser cut the kit and updated the hardware and plastic cowl and pants. Kit cost $125. They even ship the original Henry Haffke instructions and plans. It is well worth the money, particularly since I have the plans copied, digitized and make cardboard templates of all parts. The only thing I dislike about the kit is the narrow engine compartment. I was able to squeeze my HB .40 and tatone muffler inside howerver. Good luck!
