This modified Murphy Renegade on display in the kit vendor area is more complete than last year – the engine has been hung and some wiring completed. But the fact that is moving forward isn’t way we like to highlight it. If you zoom in on the poster, you’ll find that this little airplane project was begun by Kitplanes own Mel Asbery – our resident “Ask the DAR”. Mel and Ann Asbery began it years ago, but he kept so busy licensing other airplanes that he couldn’t keep making progress, so he passed it on to its next owner for completion – and we hope to see it covered and maybe flying next year!
