HP:
The wings, and tail are from a Florida based aircraft, but between them do not constitute an identity, although I am still working on getting the details. I have various other STA parts, but had always intended to build the replica, as I would not use the Menasco engine, the Lom is much better and user friendly. The drawings are superb!
But the problem is the PFA, there is just no easy way to build this aircraft in the UK, since it would be the 1st as a replica and I am not sure I have the energy to go through the process the PFA requires
I shall continue to collect parts, and we shall see.
The fuselage is actually deceptively easy, in fact the entire aircraft is basically a homebuilt, there is one overly complex area, the trim system, and the gear is not simple to make, but overall it is a pretty easy aircraft. Theres no compound curves, however there is a fair bit of welding involved, and one fairly large steel fuse bulkhead, the rest being aluminium.
