Oh Yeah, one more question. Anyone selling kit copies/replicas?
There's a guy selling plans for the A/R airplanes (fixed gear) but
nobody's building one AFAIK. It looks like a pipedream, really. It;'s
the kind of deal that makes getting an airplane built for you a really
bad idea, I think.
The staggerwing is a really complicated airplane. The fuselage is a
seriously complex structure, for instance, as are the wings. and it
would probably cost you a lot more to build one than buy one from
scratch.

We had one naked, a bank repo hanging in our EAA hangar for about a
year. The fuselage didn't look that complex, but the wings had about a
million ribs. I imagine the headaches would be in the details and
systems.
