SWEET!!! Where can you get plans or blueprints for that plane. I'd consider building one.....

@Landotter1

I don't know if you can build one from plans, but if you want a project, you could consider restoring a wrecked one.

How does the pilot see?

[cptsneed]

@ouchyfoot

He looks in front of him. The pilot is on the

left side, not right in the middle.

Any idea how many are still airworthy?

Sweet old plane

@peckerwood57

According to the FAA, there are 75 in the US, but I don't know how many are airworthy.

It's actually very easy to land, the problem is that it doesn't like to quit flying. Also, it's difficult to tell when it's landed, due to the very long shocks.
