I have had the privilege of meeting Delbert and seeing this airplane first hand at his dealership. Beautiful airplane, excellent craftsmanship, represented by a pleasant, friendly, and knowledgeable dealer. This airplane has some serious cross-country chops. Definitely worth looking at for an efficient, sturdy cross country machine. Enjoyed the article.

The frames are very flexible and they twisty-foldie into a 6" x 6" bag. As you can see in the photo, the fabric is a bit delicate, so it’s rather easy to pull the suction cups through, but make a new hole and you’re good to go. The best $/value ratio I’ve ever spent on aviation!
That was the first thing I noticed, Jim … carrying a lot of fuel (relative) and with reasonable cross-country speeds. I need to look at this thing …
