Thanks for the warm welcome Andy!! I’m actually picking up the project tomorrow and will be asking many questions on here, as I’m not too familiar with the Porterfield construction. That and I’m sure there’s missing parts besides the obvious firewall forward. Just was too neat of a little plane to not scoop up and give it a second chance.

Hello Andy, I have had my Porterfield NC37850 for just about a year.  I have been taking flight instruction in my bird and my instructor can't stop commenting on what a great flying airplane the Porterfield is. He had never heard of a Porterfield until I bought mine.  As far as flight instruction is concerned, we calculated best glide but where can I find more Porterfield information, like vx, vy. Thank you for your help.

Thank you Andy for getting back with me and thanks for the info.
