Good Stuff , Randy!!   Thanks for the pictures. the only shot I have ever seen before was a small top view photo of this plane.

                                                         Thanks again,

THANK YOU  Randy!  Cool pics,  I think you said something about plans coming - that will be great.  Are you working from Les' drawings or pix or...?

Hi Dennis

We have both , plus  Les  has marked up a set of  plans .  Curt Contrata is drawing  them, Curt is  very accurate drawing  plans and  is the  Autocad master  y1.
 it will take a while before they are finished
I also have  pics of my favorite  the  1975 Stiletto  700.  I may scan and post them  too
I'll keep you informed.

I just find the Tropicaire a cool looking plane. Maybe more so than the eariler Stilleto. Be nice to see plans eventually.

NOPE

Sounds like a case for a rolling 35 year cut-off date..!

I *think* I like the idea of a 35 year rolling cut off better than a 25 year one!
