I tried to comntact Mr Amderson At the @erol. com (his published address) to get a catalogue and the email bounced. Is this business still a going concern? JIM...
Not at all. My intent was that one need not go to lengths to recreate a speedee bilt model since they are again available commercially. The milled wings and...
