Rob;Is this school looking for a project in Alaska? It makes a huge difference!Unless you know of someone in the trucking business or who is just plumb helpfuland wants to drag a trailer up the highway, getting something from "here" to "there"could be a problem.Reason I ask is that there is an "Aerial" project in Santa Fe, New Mexico thatmay be a candidate. The "Aerial" is basically a biplane GN-1 and is the brainchildof Chad Wille. It has larger tail surface areas and of course two sets of wings.Let me know if you want more info on this. The project consists of completedfuselage, tail surfaces, and wings... no covering, nothing firewall forward, nomain landing gear.Oscar ZunigaAir Camper NX41CCSan Antonio, TXmailto: taildrags(at)hotmail.comwebsite at http://www.flysquirrel.net________________________________________________________________________________
