That Yellow Jacket has been on my list to build for OTS for many years.  There is a drawing of it in one of the Zaic Year Books with a short paragraph on its history.

That very plane is being restored as we speak by Mat Waites, son of Bill Waites. Mat is a Nashville flyer. There are pics of the restoration on FB CL Flying.
