----[Please read http://ercoupers.com/disclaimer.htm before following any advice in this forum.]---- Jan, You must live in the Phoenix area. The Luscomb is/was "Don's Idea" and I saw it last year at Copper State and this March at the Cactus Fly-in in Casa Grande, Az. I hadn't heard he had crashed it again. It had crashed on the way back from Sun 'n Fun in 1999 but with local help from the Luscomb Club in Phx it was ready for Oshkosh '99. Do you know what happened and when?
