You know, I heard this plane was EXTREMELY unstable and dangerous to fly.  The model here is almost like flying a Cessna for gossakes...

I also read that someone out in California was rebuilding one of these.  Are there any left flying?

There are about 3-4 still flying. I saw one of them about 5 yrs ago at Oshkosh. The 4th one is being rebuilt.
