Thanks for the info....That's funny.... that one was for sale on trade a plane not long ago, probably half a year or so.  It was in the Illinois area and said it had 10hrs on it then. There were no floats shown though.  I was keeping an eye on it back then.

After looking at that nice looking Bird makes me want to go work on mine!  Haven't been able to work on it for 2 months.  Hopefully back on it again tomorrow.   Cheers Randy

Surprising how many times kit planes pass thru multiple hands before being finished or mercy killed. Wonder what the real story behind this one is?

Yeah it is a shame!  I never actually called about it back then but it was on for quite awhile.  A lot of them have never made it in the air and got lost forever!  

Hope that's not me!!! :huh:

The 10 hours with no airworthiness or registration is interesting.  Hope the FAA doesn't pay a visit based on the ad!

^lotsa engine tuning and taxi testing lol

Actually, I'm guessing the heavy Sube nose and floats were too much for those speed wings. I have a friend who had straight AquaFloats on a lite C model speedwing with 582 bluehead and couldn't get off the water. Very experienced pilot, 140lb soaking wet. He put it on gear and sold it.
