Later he took
them off all together because of the liability. If the designer wasn't
sure if it's airworthy, why would you?

You are right about Evans taking the VP-2 plans of the market was due to
liability concerns. But, is was not because the plane wasn't airworthy, it
was because of the potential of a lawsuit from a passenger, since the plane
was designed as a 2-seater (that's the story as I understand it). My intent
is to explore the design as single seater (which as been done many times
already) since I am not the FAA standard size pilot of 170#.
