    Just met an old man by the river today who has a partial Built Barracuda for sale. I'm going to try and see it soon and check quality, % complete, etc.. I'm hoping to get pics. he's about 79 and won't be able to finish it. Barracudas look like a nice plane with excellent performance. If anyone has interest e-mail me at somawellness@hotmail.com and I can put you in touch with him. I'd like to do it put won't be able to start for a few years. Family you know. Cheers, Daryl

    Owning Barra plans is great, reading aircraft plans is the most interesting thing, but building and flying your own will be a exilerating experience.
