| A friend is in the process of acquirine an MC-4 and plans to restore it to flight. I expect to watch him load it on a trailer some time soon. Hopefully we can keep tabs on his progress.
The Rotor Mouse is reported to be alive. Haven't heard anything from the designer lately. I believe his brother is involved in the design of a larger, Huey sized, experimental ship. Don't know the progress here either. The Experimental Helo magazine would like to have some updates on these birds. I'll see if I can get in touch with both of the brothers....
