No, I don’t know, but I was trying.  Now, at 86 and unable to pass a physical, I need either to sell mine or take on a partner.  I had a good

Friend locally who put a 20b in a Lancair IV and after a lot of tweaking flew it a lot.  Unfortunately, he died from other causes.

I agree that too many people have died in a Seawind, but in some of them it was the pilots fault, they would have died no matter what airplane they were flying.

 

I have all the pieces but the drive has dwindled.

Does anyone know if this rotary powered Seawind has ever flown?  Hopefully the pilot is mucho careful since that airframe has killed way too many pilots vs. the number a/c finished and flown...
