Built by Lawrence Smith, I'm the 4th owner. I've owned the plane since 1997, and have owned it the longest. I like to call myself the second-builder of the plane. When I bought it, it was a non-flying wreck. I installed Long-eze gear, re-finished the paint, upgraded the interior, and did a top overhaul of the engine. That took about a year and a half (with much thanks to Al Fink). I flew it for about 15 hours, when my hangar neighbor's hangar caught fire and totaled the plane. I bought it back from the insurance company, rebuilt the wings, and repaired the damage (another year.....) and flew it again in 1998/99. I've since completely rebuilt the engine, adding aprox 25hp, and maintain the plane to IFR standards. I've looged about 1000 hours in it to date.
