Here's one I saw Fly back in 1982 at Red Deer Alberta http://www.abpic.co.uk/photo/1019962/ Keith errata A USAF Advisor to the Tiawan Air Force suggested they build a Pazmany as a primary trainer for the Tiawan Air Force. They built over 50 of them and assisted the Air Force Advisor in building one for him on their production line using their tooling which he shipped back to States. Big John Were those PL2s? I have seen one PL2 in operation, and it would have been a good plane for the job. IIRC, before VanGrunsven revolutionized amateur metal airplane building, the popular wisdom was that anyone who built a metal airplane really built 2--1 in wood and then 1 in metal. While not litterally true, the process of building formers had to be remarkably tedious; so production tooling would have been a really dramatic improvement and 50 airplanes were probably much less than 10 times as much work as 1.
