So it turns out that:

You really do know far more about presenting a non-flying aircraft for
money than anybody else on this group.

You got three negative responses to your question, plus dozens more who
didn't even bother responding.

Are you satisfied now that there is not enough interest in the aircraft
to warrent even a market survey?

So I'll add my two bits: For the same amount of work and the same
amount of money you could build a flying airplane. Thousands of pre
1910 Bleriot and Demioselles were built and flown, many are still being
built and flown including a Rotec powered Bleriot near me being built at
the Evergreen museum in McMinnville. The basic layout of the Demoiselle
has been copied by many ultralight designs, including Epps-- the
difference being that the Demoiselle was a successful design while the
Epps probably wasn't, and probably isn't worth immortalizing.

For considerably less work and less money you could bolt a couple
"wings" on the side of a lawn tractor, add garbage can "afterburners"
and have youself an airshow display F-15 like the guy down in Albany,
Oregon. I really don't think a lawn tractor F-15 would be out of place
parked next to any other non-flying replica, but I doubt if he gets paid
to show up with that thing and I really wonder where he stores it. At
least he can use it to mow the lawn.


few of the regulars from the group would
respond with well thought-out answers - either pro or con.
