Cool looking plane. PLEASE keep us informed on the build, puhlease!!!!! Where did you get it?I think I'd like to get my hands on one of them!!!! Or at least some plans!! Heh Bubba, I would be very interested in your plans when ya get done ( or a copy now) I've been looking forever for something extremely different like this!! If it ain't too expensive, that is. Ed

I've presently got an unfinished project on the board, and another project I want to do after that, but I'll plan on adding this to the list to follow. Probably get to it in 4-6 weeks. That will give me time to have the plans scanned and copied prior to starting the build. I'll also plan on tracing any parts not well-represented on the plans as Igo, so I'll have the parts and plans preserved. As far as I can tell, the manufacturer must be out of business, so perhaps there can be some collusion without significant copyright violation.

I'm uncertain where I obtained this kit, but suspect it was from flea-bay probably around 8-10 years ago. Up until 1 1/2 years ago, I had been out of the hobby for many years. Around 9 years ago I thought I would have time to come back, and went into acquisition mode adding to some older kits I have stashed. Didn't work out then, but I've been getting back lately. Dunno' when this kit went out of production probably before I purchased it as I'm attracted to both unusual kits as well as those no longer commercially available. I haven't really looked at this kit closely, but the "elevators" appear to be fixed to the wing, and until Itake a hard lookI won't know if the wing is readily removable.

If there's interest, I'll do a build thread on this once I get started (assuming Ican figure out how to properly load thumbnails that will enlarge to the forum). Yeah, new to the forum, too.
