are creating....next project?

It would be tempting. Lots of work of course. As far as I can tell there
were at least 3 in the US. One in the NSM (N16923) which belonged to Richard
DuPont and Ted Bellak. Barringer set the world distance record in this ship
at 210 miles. The last airworthy one (N2664B) was exported a decade or more
ago to Europe. Not sure what happened to the other one (N37JK). Would be
cool to have one flying in the US.

I was the lucky buyer in 1988 when I bought N37JK from John Karlovich. After
carefull restoration by Jan Vermeer the dutch registration became PH-848 and
I flew her at many VGC-meetings, until I sold the Minimoa to Tilo Holighaus
and Sieger Maier in 2005 where it was registered as D-8180
I am also involved with the recreation of PH-80 so I can still enjoy flying
this beautifull sailplane.

There is still a original Minimoa in private hands in the U.S.A. but the
owner does not want to sell it or have it brought back in the air.
