Cassutt Project

Steve Wolfe and I bought a Cassutt (Formula 1 Race-plane) that had been abandoned in a warehouse.  The warehouse owner wanted it gone, so we got one of those WOW deals on it.  As you can see the fabric has been torn off the tail.  There is some damage to the wing too.  It had a Piper style pitot tube which somehow got forced through the plywood wing skin, and there are some scuffs and dings on the wings, but otherwise it looks complete less engine and instruments.

These are the kinds of grins you get when you find one of those old-plane-in-a-barn deals.  Now we've got to figure out if we're ready to fly this little devil.  It lands twice as fast as any taildragger I've ever flown.  Anybody know where we can get a deal on an engine?
