Probably 10 to 15 years ago we had one up and KHTL. The guy rebuilt
and modified for quite a few years. Ended up with a Corvette engine in
it. Last I heard it was flying, but it left HTL and I do not know what
happened after that. At any rate the FAA gave him an amateur build
experimental certificate for it. No, I do not remember the N# but it
was based at HTL for years. I probably have some photos of it buried
some where.
