I have a 360 Lyc powered Rebel on amphibs, and after 10 years of flying it,
still can't find a better airplane I would choose. When comparing to other
airplanes, many things stand out with the Rebel. It has nice flying
qualities, and has great take-off/climb performance without a big cruise
speed compromise. Most similar airplanes are good at one of these, but not
both. It has a low empty weight, huge cabin for baggage and big pilots,
large range of engines, and yes, much prefer the aluminum (I have also built
another fabric airplane).
And this email list is great for support, mods, and advice for building and
flying your airplane.

Hi Mike,
I'm new to the group. Started by looking @ Rebel kits... sent Bob an e-mail
inquiry about prices for kits, when they're going to have a batch of Rebel's
going
down the assembly line, info.... etc.
Got a nice detailed response.
I'm not a pilot, but have many friends who are - one currently building a
Bearhawk. I do favor taildraggers and like the idea of aluminum. Lot's of
remote
and dirt strips around here...
I live in Kenai. I understand that you're a Fairbanks resident.
Any other Murphy owners in the state?
What's been your experience with these aircraft?
Thanks for any info...
Pete
