Bill, my buddy went over to the La-Forte "sp" and met the guy that built his plane. I'm not sure what the guys name is that built it. I know it cost him a lot of money and just about the same amount to ship it over. Its been in a few IMAA mags from the Castle Flyin and the Cowchill Giant Scale. Its actually a fun plane to fly. I can do some 1' high passes with the wing tip 5' from us. Everyone really gets excited because once the plane is in the air it does not look fast until you do a run like that.

P47, I let my buddy know about your planes. He is going to take a look.

Garrett,

Thanks for the information......I have to believe he too acquired it from Dave Johnson. I'll contact him soon to talk as it's been hangin' in the garage way to long.


Bill
