Default Republic SeeBee

I fly a Spencer Aircar, cousin to the Seabee. There are several good
sites dedicated to the Seabee including http://www.republicseabee.com/
AND Steinars hangar site at http://www.seabee.info/ Both sites have
good articles on adventures in the 'bee


It's interesting (and somewhat frustrating) that we STILL haven't heard any
definitive cause of the crash of the Spencer S12D Aircar (a homebuilt
derivative of the Seabee) that occured here in Iowa over a year ago, killing
a friend of ours.

The NTSB website still only shows the "preliminary" report that says little
more than "the plane went down".

There's also a little blurb about the crash on this site (scroll down to
"N41RH"), but nothing new: http://www.seabee.info/seabee_news_2007.htm

I've never seen a final report so slow in coming.
