Will Mathews, owner of the WL kit company, passed away suddenly, sometime in April or May of 2015. Not sure of exact date. I thought this may be of interest to some who still show interest in the plane. His widow, Gail, will have to sell assets from company at some time I am sure. I am willing to answer as many questions as I can about the airplane, but will not enter into any debates about details of structure. It did win and set records at the 1980's Cafe with an engine that most of us would not care to fly. It was worn out with no mod's after being removed from a Cessna 235 I have flow in one several times cross country at 75% indicating 210 ktas. Eddie Clark
