The plane is stored in a hanger at the Monterey CA Airport if you want to see it in person. New 100hp VW motor, not a lot left to finish on this build (mostly fabric and wing support work, streamline tubing still need to be cut, inspected and re-welded to size). You can go to the link in first pic for more photos. This plane would meet light sport rules and be very economical to fly. Comes with working set of plans and lots of paper work.
Please call Larry with any questions 831-840-1383. The plane is all wrapped up and ready to slip into a 16x7 box trailer or on a flat trailer for a shorter run. I will help in loading and may be able to deliver depending on how far.

The Pober Pixie is a single-seat light aircraft that was designed in the United States in 1974 and marketed as plans for homebuilding. It is a conventional parasol-wing monoplane with fixed tailwheel undercarriage and a single open cockpit. In response to the 1973 oil crisis, the EAA launched "Project Econoplane" to develop an aircraft with high fuel economy that would therefore be affordable for its members to operate. The Pober Pixie was the result, with a fuel consumption of 3 to 3.5 US Gal (11 to 13 L) per hour. Plans were completed in January 1974 and the prototype flew in late July, in time for the EAA Annual Convention that year.
