Hello All, This is Victor Taylor the current care taker for Bob Pasak’s airplane. So sorry to hear that he has passed away. What an awesome man and craftsman he was. To answer the question about the wing being straight it is NOT. It is tapered and is a one piece wing. The wing is bolted to the fuselage as per the Osprey GP-4 plans. The airplane flies well though is a little heavy. The only change that’s been made to date is to go to 500 x 5 aircraft tires and modify the wheel pants to fit them. We plan to add ADSB and get a better radio with more wattage. Current radio is only good for about 20 miles. The plane burns virtually no oil, has no oil leaks and is extremely comfortable for two hour legs. Feel free to reach out to me for questions or if you are in the Mobile Alabama area stop by for a visit.
