Tom,
Andy mentioned a Glen Peck, but I do not see his name on the membership. Is he still around, if not what happened to the plane ??

Andy,
Thank you, interesting history. 10 gal, tanks or even 8,5 should give more then enough range for someone like me. I will try to follow through on this to find out what I can.

Am interested in what to look for in these planes for a re-do. Assume, close look at tubes, pully s

Plane for Sale on Main Page
I was looking at the planes for sale on the Main page and noted a blue PC for sale. I can find no date on the ad except an annual of 2009 so I assume it is at least 6 years old. (If this is wrong, let me know.) I can find no N number so my question is what happened to the plane, who bought it or (really a long shot) is it still for sale?
