New to the forum, been flying a Skybolt fo 35yrs. Built the plane pretty much old school. Enjoyed meeting and working with Lamar when I was building the plane. Later it was great to meet Hale Wallace, his workmanship on his Skybolts was legendary. Hale did a great deal to continue the Skybolt legend. He was always available and very helpful with problems, as was Lamar. If you are considering building a Biplane, you can't go wrong with the performance and toughness of a Skybolt.
