| Ben Jarvis , OK | I purchased a set of plans from him when I saw the article in the Sport Aviation magazine. I've kept them all these years. It's a shame that they are not available anymore. Now that I have the time and space to get this dream off of the bookshelf, I find out the wings are not available. Any help out there on who may have a set of plans/drawings for them? 09/20/2011 @ 15:41 [ref: 49132] |
