70% P-38 
  On another site (Emerauders.com) It was mentioned that a retired Aero engineer in Texas had built a P-38, there were pics, but I was unable to open them. It was all metal with a jump seat for his co- builder (wife) Has anyone seen this aircraft?

I currently have a friend doing a home build program and fixing up... more »
