The leading edge protection is another $72 per prop, regardless of wood or carbon fiber. I do fancy the idea of flying off of the water someday, but do not care for the added expense.
Like you said it's always nice to know the complete history of a plane. As the kit number suggests, it was one of the last kits to be sold by Ultraflight. I knew the orignal owner and the previous one before my brother bought it. Repairs should be minor but I can't say for sure until I get started. I know for sure that I will be checking on those d-cell foam formers and particularly the glue that holds them in.
As for the Hawk videos, I took them off due to a falling out with the new owner. I could type a lot of things here, but I won't. The CGS Hawk is a very nice flying ultralight or light-sport machine, it's too bad that Chuck S had his stroke and is not able to keep the company going himself. I've decided to remove them because I cannot in good faith promote something that the ownership cannot support themselves. I've decided to focus on my Varieze and to restore, fly, and promote the Lazair. It's truely the most fun flying machine that I have ever flown, so that's what I will do.
