I started on a Marquart Charger back in the mid '90s. I put it

well
have. I've not been to any EAA chapter meetings for a long time,
although I'll start that again soon, too.

Anyway, gents, jog my memory about where I can go to check on
what the
FAA expects to see regarding homebuilding.

Propulsion is another thing that I've thought about over the last
few
years. I'll probably put in a O-320/360, but I was wondering
about how
successful auto conversion were in that power range.

Thanks and best regards,

By coincidence, I had a nice talk with Ed this morning out at
Flabob.

I have never talked Ed. I should try hard to find him on my next
trip
to SOCAL.

There was, and maybe still is, a very experienced builder out here.
The guy's name is John Matthews and he has built several Chargers.

I have heard of this man. His name spread far and wide, but I regret
to tell you he has passed on. I went to Atlanta, near Spaghetti
Junction, a few years ago to look at a Marquart project, and the owner
told us John had died. The man who went with me was also a Marquart
builder, who knew John Matthews and thought the world of him. IIRC,
it was John Matthews who took him for a ride in a Marquart and
convinced him to build one, which he did.
