Hi Tony,
Can't say I would have started my Pup(and SWMBO would not have been favorable) if I would have had to make it like original, at a net cost of close to $250,000 and 10 years of work making parts.

I was willing to do it when I saw it could be built in less than 2 years (less than one if I went real simple) for less than $40,000 and still have something that flew well and was reasonably safe (okay, so reasonable is very subjective, LOL!)
