Catsfive, the STOL would be perfect for the farm but nothing so great. It's a Szaraz SDS that has actually been built before by my friend's grandfather. He was a Vietnam vet who flew recon and loved just hanging out in the air for hours. After he passed it passed to my buddy who cleared out the shop and dug it out. The fabric was mostly (? lots of patches, parts like rudders and ailerons need touching up) gone due to mice and the usual barn rot but everything else we were able to refurb. The engine was already removed long ago by granddad intended for rebuild so he just shipped it out and it's on its way back beginning around Feb we think. I'm a welder and the Daphne is actually made of welded steel tubing which survived pretty good. I'm basically drinking beers and doping with a brush, but my buddy located this old retired restoration expert from a club and the plywood spars that didn't pass inspection I think they're getting redone from this new type of synthetic plywood. It'll be cool to see this thing in the air again. Merry Christmas!
