Construction of first full-scale replica.
The Museum has chosen this unique sled as its first
replica project because of its upcoming 50th anniversary.
The estimated cost of construction is in the neighborhood
of $35,000.00. The engine, a 300 h.p. Lycoming 9 cylinder
radial in running but tired condition has been located and
purchased along with exhaust and tube mount. The
Museum is counting on a successful pre-sale income to
complete the windsled for the upcoming celebration this
April. If you would like to help, you can order your
