Monty, I'm glad you made this intervention here. The Texas Parasol always
attracted me as a project after my actual plane (CH701) is finished, just
for the sake of enjoying building something.

I downloaded the plans from Matronic last week and I was just going to send
Richard $30.00 for his CD or DVD.

As of NOW the files are DELETED and you just saved me $30.00.


The Sky Pup:

is a scratch built ultralight. Pretty good plans are available and it
has a good safety record. There are several flying, several more
under construction, and an active builders/users/ club (note, not
a group, a club on Yahoo:

First time builders claim to have comkpleted theirs within the
400 hour estimare. Cost depends mostly on how much you pay
for the engine and prop.

The dry weight of the prototype was 200 lbs and it was designed
for 400 lbs gross, by real engineers.
