Default Johnson Rocket Projects

A friend has decided to sell his two Johnson Rocket 185 project aircraft.

One has been stripped down and the fuselage primed with epoxy and
painted. That plane needs a rebuilding of the cockpit area, as the
previous owner butchered that area in an attempt to make a homebuilt.

The other plane is unrestored, but complete -- both have been hangared
for their entire lives, so I presume that the wood is all good.

Engines and engine parts are readily available, as are CDs of Factory
drawings.
