Hi all:

This is the first time I have posted here, so hope it is in the right spot.

I have owned the original Powers-Bashforth MiniMaster for many years now and have decided to start work on it in earnest. Several people have told me the plane had issues and that is why it was not produced, but none had flown it! Bruce told me it had a couple of issues but they had been eliminated! One company even wanted to buy it, and copy it directly to market it, yet they thought it had some issues?

Has anyone on this forum flown the plane or can give me any pointers on necessary structural or aerodynamic fixes that may need to occur during its restoration?

The plane currently has the canard wing and 2-582 Rotax engines driving Power Fin Props 2 blade 66" front and 60" three blade on the rear per Bruce Bashforth recommendations.
