Jerry,

MAM has been up for sale for many years now....... this is nothing new. Maybe this time Darryl won't be so stringent over the details and scrooge over the money. These a/c kits could be the next best kit for high wing...... only cause Vans has the low wings. Best of luck to Darryl as usual.
