Have been working (Slowly) on a CGS Hawk. With business the way it is, it will be awhile until I get the time and circumstances to get the bird flying. 99% a time/space problem. My warehouse is full and I have little space to work on the airplane. Just found a flyable Hawk, 503 Rotax, decent shape, for not much more than what the wing covers for the present bird will cost. Thinking about buying it and selling the project. The "other" bird is N-numbered...owner is flying it as an Ultralight at present with a 5 gal. tank. N number still on it. Legal?? He says switch to a 10 gal tank and then it is an LSA. I could always tape over the N number, but don't want to cross any legal lines, either. Comments??

Mission is to get airborne. Been flying some in a 150, but this would take all my flight instruction $$. Local flying mostly, but would like to work on some X/C flights as well. Think the Hawk with the 503 would have the range to do some 400 mile cross-countries.
