Check out this great deal on Ebay. Would be a little slower than a Thorp, but would sure get current or potential builders in the air a lot quicker. Would fit those on a budget quite well and it even has a folding wing like a Thorp C or CW or MRNFWT (my really neat folding wing Thorp) or whatever the folding wing things are called nowadays.

Anyone in the Kentucky area that could do a prebuy on it? :o

If the control lines aren't too long, I might be able to fly it in my front yard - the dogs might get a kick out of riding in it.

I just took a better look at those pictures on eBay... OMG! If that thing already flew for 50 hours, it must have been in somebody's dreams.

I think the 50 hours it has might be taxiing in parades! That thing would never fly unless you dropped it off a cliff. Don't know if the seller actually believes it can fly or could be one of the Nigerians at work trying to scam a low information buyer.

Well....
If it's as good as he says, he should be willing to ferry it out to you for a nominal fee...
