Listen up Mr. HARRY O

Your remark to make the aircraft sound unsafe was a fruitless attempt to
keep the plane from selling.

If you would had read the eBay listing it states I would prefer someone
who
is familiar with the VP1 and plans to make corrections if desired on
such
things. The jury struts can be easily installed by anyone who can drill
two
holes.

Furthermore if you look at the pictures of the VP1
http://photos.groups.yahoo.com/group/volksplane/lst
you would notice more than half of the planes don't have them.

Lastly, over the hundreds of hours documented in the plane's log book I
would say its safe to fly as is.
And to be exact The drawing for the jury struts is on page 48a and is
dated
9-7-71 so plans prior to that DID NOT USE THEM.

The ad states this is a homebuilt and buyer should be aware.

If you wouldn't touch it,then move on and quit publicly bad mouthing my
airplane and quit trying to get others to jump on the bandwagon with
you,
your not that convincing.

Actually, I wouldn't touch any airplane that left out structural
parts.
I
was pointing it out for those who might not be as familiar with the
airplane. But, since you are here, why were the jury struts (which
keep
the
wing struts from buckling under compression load) left off? This is
particularly important with the VP-1 since the wing struts are almost
always
under compression.

Hello-Why not ask me the seller? Duh

Interesting. It does not have the "jury strut" between the front
spar
and
the front strut brace (which is called out on the plans). I
wonder
what
else was skipped.
