He left the plane in Brodhead for a year before hiring someone else to bring it
back to Virginia. I don't recall but I think it came back by truck. As far
as I know he hasn't flown it much - still having some problems with his engine.

I have not heard from Gene in years and I dont think hes on this list any more.
So, did he decide to live with the limitations, or make changes?

that can be. In the Midwest where there are plenty of grass strips it might not
be much of a problem, but in Virginia, even if you can find a grass strip they
usually don't have fuel.

I'm at X21 which has a paved and grass strip. I think you might want to reconsider
no brakes no tailwheel unless you are planning to operate off a grass strip
exclusively. At this stage a tailwheel would be very easy to add on, then
you can land anywhere. Brakes are a nice addition too. Just putting my cards
on the table :). Pictures of my plane and build are on the westcoastpiet site:
