Welcome!
You've managed to locate my L3 build thread. The idea to pursue this started stewing summer of 2014 with purchasing beginning October 2015. This is a "classic" Ultimate Wildman. It is green fiberglass with plywood centering rings and the longer payload bay. The kit was part of Troj's collection that he was ready to part with (thanks again, Troj). Various bits and pieces for the project have been accumulating since then via Black Saturday and the yard sale section. The certification flight is planned for some time in 2015, preferably at THOR's site near Jansen, NE; backup location would be AIRFest in Argonia, KS.
Greg Rothman and Bob Brown have agreed to serve as TAPs for my project. Most of the specifics of electronics and recovery have been planned out. I will post the specifics as the build thread progresses.
Thanks for reading,
Doug
