This project was for sale
This project is very well documented on this website. Lots of pictures are available. I have built this entire project.
There are no pre-fab parts except for the gear struts and much of the hardware. MSG 335 has been used throughout
the project. It has had two EAA technical inspections. Many builders have visited this project over the years. They
all seem to agree it is a well done project. I leave that to the buyer to decide. The plans have been marked with a
highlighter as each step is completed. It will be quite easy to see what has been done and what hasn't.
