    Litte Dipper- Al Eke at KANE, Chapter 237

    Hi all,

    My friend Al Eke has been scratch building a reproduction of the Lockheed Little Dipper for a number of years now. Many of us in Chapter 237 have been helping in various ways, from rivets to registration paperwork. Here is a YouTube video of a taxi test that was done last week. Enjoy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y_U0H1SJei8

    FYI, this plane is not intended to develop into a kit or even to sell plans. There is a Little Dipper Yahoo Group, I heard that someone there might be working on plans/kits for their version of the Little Dipper.


    Cheers

    What a sweet aircraft!

    Man it must have been hard to throttle down from fast taxi....she looked like she really wanted to leap into the air.
