Speaking of Ernie, it's probably time for me to goose someone about the
Independence Flyer ultralight project. How's it going, Ernie? Is it
going at all?
For those not familiar with it, the Independence Flyer is one of the
Independence EAA chapter's group projects, a well-designed ultralight
that closely resembles two of my favorite antiques (well, not MY
antiques, alas, but you get the idea), the Aeronca C-2 and C-3. It seems
to have been pretty much on hold since everyone there got Nieuport
fever. If I had a few doubloons to my name, didn't live about as far
from Independence as it's possible to get without leaving the continent,
and had an ultralight-friendly airport less than 3 hours drive away, I'd
offer to buy the project, just to see it completed.
