    Hi all 
     try call the no, on the avid magnum and Catalina add, it’s Jim and Kim (Tomash) probably misspelled. I can start checking on my end if there’s a weld shop that can copy mine, what engine are you planning to use

        Well I have bin reading that add for a month,and can’t stop thinking about it . I’m positive this won’t work but could 3 or 4 of us go together buy it decide who would build and supply witch major components? Say 1- wings.fiberglass components      2- fuselage   3 -control surfaces and landing gear. 4 - or some thing like that (pipe dream)

  9. RJGerstnecker added a post in a topic Magnum rudder hight   

         I have found definitely 2 rudder nights 48” & 53” I saw a hand written note in a magnum build manual that indicates a 55” variant also .it would be relatively easy to bend and weld in new tubing, I’m interested in if  the vertical stabilizer is the same on all magnums or changes with rudder size , and are the  horizontal stabilizer and elevator different ?
    thx rjg
