After a long road trip from Largo, Fl to Frenchlick, Indiana and back - Vision #087 is now at home in its shop. The plans were purchase in 1999? and the wing spar was built with the designer Steve Rahm. It seems it was worked on until 2001 before the project halted. It was then purchased by Jeff, who took it from Texas to Indiana. Jeff did not have the time to work on it and instead of letting it sit and deteriorate, sold it to me in June of 2009.
