RE: Someone explain this, please...
Ebay is very much geared towards the seller then the buyer but people need to show some restraint. With that being said I am seriously thinking about putting my Aero Composites EU1A kit up for auction if prices keep going this way.
A note about the King Kobra, this is one excellent flying plane. I built two in the early 90's, the first one was built exactly like the plans and the second one I converted to a tail dragger. I added a set of fiberglass gear just ahead of the wing mount, reinforced this area with some ply and shaped the bottom block to fit the gear. I really liked this combo better, the ground handling was better and simpler to maintain. For a tail wheel I just feed a piece of music wire from the rudder down through the fuse to a du-bro tail wheel. I covered the plane with Coverite silkspan and painted with Rustolem. I have pictures of the plane somewhere, if I find them I will scan and post.
