| My son, who is in his mid fifties, sent me this amazing link, to the aircraft he and I built (over a three year period). I was pleased to learn Stits N86669 is still flying today! Over the years it appears a few changes have been made, such as a new instrument panel, a larger engine, and a beautiful paint scheme. This Playboy started it's life in a small back yard in Santa Monica CA. I moved to Oxnard and finished the wings and test flew the craft at Ventura Air Park. That airport was turned into a Marina so I moved it to Santa Paula and did the rest of the test flying (50 hours) over the Santa Clara riverbed , between Filmore and Oxnard. I'm now a 73 year old retiree, living in Arizona (Tucson area). | |

| I built and test flew N86669, back in 1962. Anyone wishing to talk to me about it can send me an email at jnpatr@msn.com. I don't have any written records left, so any input from me is strictly from memory. | |
