That looks like a work of love! Wished Gene could have flown it more! Looks super well documented to boot! Hope someone gets this and finishes it up!

I posted them below the 2010 construction photos, at http://krnet.org/krs/gknight/ . Some pretty cool workmanship, and plenty of bells and whistles, like the retractable step in front of the pilot's wing. There are some drawings of things like the "Mooney" landing gear near the bottom. It has flown, once, but was close enough to aft CG that he installed the Jabiru to move the CG a bit more forward....just never quite finished the job. Definitely "low time"....
