Bob,


I've been following the HP-24 pages for a while. *I can't see creating
a HP-24 in a "modest" amount of time, but send me the brochure ! * I

Most of the time we've spent on the project has been dedicated to
making tooling and developing prototypes. I figure the actual build
time for the finalized kit will be down around 350 hours.

The only thing we have in the way of a brochure is he

Thanks, Bob K.


It that 350 for you or for me :-)

Just kidding, I'll figure in the standard safety factor for kit built
aircraft. But seriously, will it require a builder to do the
gelcoat finishing ? That sounds like a huge amount of work just
there.

PS nice Yosemite pics, makes me want to go see the place again. A
long time ago I visited summers to climb there.
