    Oh and no.... no prepunched holes in the skins. Almost all the rivet holes were laid out by hand, pilot drilled, back-drilled, match-drilled etc. Like a handful of other builder/flyers on this site, I have well justified faith in the design and the way I fly it. Have no fear about our dialogue contaminating my attitude.

    Funny that you would mention the spar attach bolt sizes. Dad and I were just saying that we wish they were 3/8" rather than 5/16" because we could put more torque on them and get more clamping force at the spar joints. All the same no matter how hard anyone tries every plane is somewhat a one off machine that conforms to a basic flight and performance envelope. Oh well tomorrow we ply the skies yet again.

    Hi Bennett,

    I am interested in your 601 for sale. My friend in Indiana just sold his Vari-Viggen and he is looking for a project. I just got off the phone with him tonight and he said he is very interested. Please send the information you have to backstagelive@gmail.com or call me at 920-237-1450. I am up working on my project until 2:00 AM Cental. With this huge snowstorm we have going on in Wisconsin right now, I will be home working on the plane all day on Wednesday! Please inventory what you have and give me your location. Thanks.
