I will always cherish the memories of RVs and all they have to offer. After spending months researching Builder Liability Issues, I have decided to donate Cappys Toy to an Aviation Museum. The museum has offered to create an Experimental Aircraft Section featuring Cappys Toy. It is heartwarming to know Cappys Toy will forevermore be representing Experimental Aviation, and that I have found a good home for her. The museum has agreed to accept Cappys Toy without the engine, engine accessories, NAV/COM GNC 300XL, transponder GTX 327, autopilot Trio Avionics EZ Pilot and 5 point airline type seat belts. The expected delivery date is September 15, 2008. In addition to a tax deduction, the sale of these items will enable me to re-coup some of the losses incurred from not selling the airplane outright. If you are interested in a proven complete functioning power plant package with less than 450 hours for your project, or any of the other items, please give me a call.
