Hello everyone
Its been a while. I posted an introduction some time ago. For now lets just update to today. 8 years ago I began to build and design, with no aeronautical engineering skills. Please refrain from asking me to give any kind of equation. In spite of all that I have been successful. The plane flew last summer and was taken through a few hours by a qualified test pilot. Also after instruction I have been flying till the cold weather ended my efforts to enjoy the fruit of my 8 year effort.

A blog like thread in the EAA forums fallowed my efforts. Also a long association with Mark Stull .Until his death in Nov. 2011 a tribute to his help

I have been reserved from posting here.The level of education being short of the many who post here. Aside from that I would like to find comfort here and share my success. The plane flies well but needs some tweaking, mostly in the floatation system. A Seaplane only configuration a legal part 103. I am 65 soon to be 66 I doubt now that it will be anything but a one of kind.
There is much about the plane that is unique and deserves exploration. being very UL friendly.and allowing for exploration into many other designs that resemble a more general aviation acceptable venue. I get extreme enthusiasm from people at the lake and boat launch .

Is there any interested here that might want to get involved improving .Or building on my construction technique?
I am a NH resident. I will be back flying mid May I suppose.airplane 010.jpg
