Yes. That was Mike Mimms when he was building the Sky Pig some 25 years ago. He built the legs with all unidirectional glass. There area a few pictures of that plane from the 2016 KR Gathering on John Bouyea's KRGathering.net web site from when Brad Stone owned it. The plane has changed hands a couple times since then and to the best of my knowledge it not currently flying. <https://www.krgathering.net/images/Gathering2016/LarryHowell/IMG_2484.JPG> Follow the links from KRGathering.net to past gatherings, to 2016 in Mt Vernon, then look for N2644C. However, I don't know if the legs on the plane are the ones Mike laid up, or if he later bought a set of the Grumman legs and cut them down. Additionally, Mike didn't complete the plane. He sold the project, and most of us never saw it again until Brad showed up in it at the Gathering in 2016.
