The father bob counts passed away i think and the son dwayne took it over and basically took deposits and in some cases full kit amounts and then would not send the customers their kits or parts or money back he ran around for years doing this and,when customers went to bobs old hangar it was empied, he went to prison over it.the guy I bought my plane from here in Alaska I found out due to the mass amount of paper work I have with my plane,was in the process of making modifications to the plane and possibly was going to take over the buisness but he also passed away,if dwayne would of sold out he could of walked away with alot of money and been free to use it,he took the fast illegal money,and plundered it and his fathers good name,no cure for stupid there have been many people that wanted to continue the plane but it looks like it dies with the son.im stl learning this plane and researching the story,maybe dwayne would like to tell his side,id listen,but for now it looks like he had no skill to build kits,he was trying to get the guy in alaska to build them for him....and his greed took over and squashed that...maybe somone else will chime in if I don't have facts strait.also I know the guy from Alaska staney benard was in contact with duwayne till 2016,i have emails from dwayne asking about the secondary fuel bladders in the wings,and a few other things stan was doing,and different weight saving ideas,has any one else seen a Wabasto gas fired heater in one of these planes for cab heat,mine has one,anyway theres part of the story anyhow
