It is unlikely that anyone could build one to slip through the air better.

A trailer is included! Hmmm...should I go look!?

I'm betting there was a lot of beer involved in putting that fuselage up there...

Hi Tom/Treeview,

If you're game for such a conversion - it has been done before
successfully:

[This is a seriously neet/neat website!]

That advertised price is extremely cheap too. The only change I'd
make to the website's Aerocamper would be to make it a little shorter.

Cheers,
Norm/mezmo

Yup...I saw that one a couple of weeks ago.

I'm not so enamored with the TTT concept. A standy is what I'm after. It would take a bit bigger fuselage to make a standy. More than likely I'll be making something on a pickup. Get rid of the box, build a flatbed and go up from there/

Since he's got a sailboat and trailer to toss into the deal it seems like enough 'fixins' for the start of a fun project!
