Darren, I've got the EAA sport Avaition on CD from 1953-2003. I just searched the title index for "under $10,000" and came up with no matches. Then I asked for a full text search for "under $10,000". It found 14 matches that I have copied below. Do any of these articles jog your memory?

Not con-tent with the kit types, I preferred to build airplanes of my own design. While working on the family farm I always had visions of building and manufacturing my own full-sized air-craft. Later, when I was in high school, I took a correspondence course in drafting and engineering Question & Answer Department September 1960 Q. I think it is a crime the way some EAA members approach airplanes and airplane design. Too many of them do nothing but copy older designs. Too many of them favor obsolete ships like the Baby Ace and a number of biplanes instead of building really modern things with delta wings and retractable landing gears. All this talk about An Aero Engine Fraud December 1962 SEVERAL MONTHS ago some advertisements appeared in an aviation advertising paper which offered two-cylinder, 30 hp aircraft engines at the fascinating price of $89.00 each, brand new.

I passed my pilot's examination in 1928 (License 8316), participated in fifty years of aircraft development including work on a Mach three all-weather interceptor in 1959 and now reside with my wife and family in Charlottesville, VA.

"Supreme and distinctive in the flying field - the only aviation books that give all necessary and accurate technical information in an irresistible human style. Every fact a pilot must know is made unforgettable by personalized and often humorous touches in text and graphic drawings."

We're hardly inside the arches before the new stuff seems to steam roll over us like a tidal wave, challenging us to assimilate it all. Clearly an impossible task.

Well, if you're an aviation enthusiast, one of the first things that'll probably come to mind The Skycycle Fred Barker July 1987 One of the all time fantasies of aviation buffs everywhere is this: Walk out to your garage, back out a gleaming little Buck Rogers type aircraft and zoom right out of your driveway, up over the clogged traffic for an exhilarating and carefree trek to work (or wherever). The Skycycle was developed out of that same fantasy.

This is an aviation magazine and you're not interested in the story of some guy who biked 870 miles to Sun 'n Fun this past spring? Ahh, but this is an AIR bike that happens to be a pretty affordable airplane built using tried and true construction techniques.

Not just any cock-pits, but those belonging to the sexiest of the 1930's sport planes, the Ryan STA. Even as a kid he liked the lines and Smilin' Jack ap-pearance of the airplanes. He never got them out of his mind.
