Smyth Sidewinder on Barntormers

[BrianS]

My periodic hobby of perusing Barnstormers for the mythical "I'm sitting on $$ and looking for the best bang for the buck" netted this beauty.

What a beautiful, classic homebuilt. I wish I were shopping...

I came close to buying one of these maybe 10 years ago, but it had never been completely finished & the original owner's family couldn't find the plans. The rights to the plans had been sold by the family of the original designer & were owned by someone living on an old ultralight strip outside Hermann, MO. They didn't answer their phone & didn't reply to snail mail.
