Yeah, hey didn't work too well. I think both crashed. Three of five Bede BD-10s crashed. N2BD: original prototype, owned by Fuel Fresh in Nevada, unflyable N9WZ: Peregrine's kit, crashed N62PJ: Peregrine's kit, crashed N700JP: Jim Priebe's kit, sold to Monitor Jet, now privately owned in Canada, unflyable N7FF: Frank Everett's kit, crashed I'm sorry, but I think ya gotta be nuts to jump into a prototype GA jet and become an amateur test pilot. I'll bet the families of the dead pilots agree with me. "The second kit-built aircraft, N7FF, broke up in mid-air off the southern coast of California in 2003 after the pilot had radioed a MAYDAY call in which he stated that the aircraft "was disintegrating". -- Dallas
