Pat, it's too bad they don't have the five seat version in production anymore. However, I think there is one in flying condition somewhere (saw it in a recent video). I like the Brantly as a classic flyer, but if they replaced some items with new composite materials, improved airfoil shapes, and made some minor changes in other areas - the B2B could probably out perform most of the other pistons (my opinion). The safety stastistics in the B2B are amazing (something like 2 fatal accidents in 40+ years), but there aren't that many of them. I'd love to get my paws on some flight manuals and get a few other contacts, thanks for the offer.
