It is currently for sale with the trailer for $2600 by some fellow in California. The fellow who bought it from me was from the west coast but that was a number of years ago. The first zipper model was a single place with the 22 hp french engine. Then they came out with a single place with a rotax 27 of 28 hp. I owned one of each of those and sold both. Finally I purchased a two place with no flying hours on it with a crop spraying outfit. A two place cannot be a part 103 so I removed the crop spray stuff and rerigged the rudder pedals to it could be flown single place as a legal part 103 and flew it in Illinois, at the Zenith flyin in Missouri and at sun and fun in Florida where I sold it. I have also built, flown and sold a 701. The zipper was truly ahead of its time for an ultralight. 3 axis controls, princeton folding sailwing. The trick with the twin was to keep the rpm of each engine the same or it would yaw into the slow engine and could not be flown except in a circle if one shut down. I built the trailer in the photo and put lots of miles on it going to shows.
