I've been told that it is the one and only BD-7 built. It is a 4 place of small to moderate cabin size. The wings weren't mounted, and I never saw them. It is engineless, and the panel is mostly stripped. A friend of mine said that it had only flown once, and inferred that it wasn't a "happy" flight. Can anyone relate any *true* stories about this airplane's history? Mark Morland tektronix!tekig4!markmo -- Mark Morland tektronix!tekig4!markmo
