Mary,
I would think that most people that tackle building a plane could
probably finish up with "plans" if they had to. I would imagine that they
would also outsource things they were not comfie doing themselves. Seems
like the only thing one could do in those circumstances. Good luck with the
article, maybe a list of some companies that were good outsource resources
would be very beneficial to "defunct kit" builders. I have not found a cheap
kit myself so I'll have to stick with building them the old fashioned way

I'm curious Mary, are you researching an article about builders, or
researching to write an article about builders? I could see where it
would be a good article.

Lou,
The purpose of the article is to inform builders (who may find
themselves in this situation) about what they can do to complete their
projects. In other words, perhaps builders will share their experience
with other builders.
I was hoping that through this thread, I would receive some information
about what people have done with regard to starting builders groups,
mining Internet sources, securing alternative parts/assemblies vendors,
etc.--whatever has worked to get the project finished despite problems
with the company.
