After completion, the airplane was flown for just 2 hours before finding major quality issues with faulty avionics wiring and wing issues. The wings were removed and all fabric was taken off. He discovered the top wing was junk minus hardware, and the bottom wings were salvable with good woodworking skills. The airplane sat for awhile and eventually was sold in March of 2012. Current status unknown.
