Carthage pilots build their own airplane from kit
Jim Ritter and Arce Young in Carthage are assembling a self built aircraft from a Bede Aircraft kit. They completed five of six packages and await the final parts while detailing meticulous plans and precision work. The craft will be all metal with a wooden prop and aims for 24 mph top speed and 1800 fpm climb. FAA inspections precede eventual flight testing under experimental category.
