Marian designed his "Egret" and built every part from scratch. * He
likes to say - "$10,000 and 10,000 hours".... *It is as beautiful up
close as it is in the photos and h flies it masterfully.

I can believe the 10,000 hours part for sure. Did he build it with
negative molds? What is it made of.......fiberglass or carbon,
or........

The span seems greater than 15m, is it?
