I have seen this thing taxiing- on Youtube I think. It doesn't have the original Jumo engines (which as they had a habit of bursting into flames is probably not a bad thing) but apart from that its pretty much an accurate copy.
Talk about ahead of its time !.

That's right.
That' a picture where it flew together with the Bf-109 of the Messerschmittstiftung on the ILA 2008 in Berlin

Herb Tischler started the project at Meacham Field. He got crossways with the money people and they fired him and finished 4 planes in Oregon IIRC.
Herb is a BRILLIANT SOB from Germany. He is also a super prick to work with or for apparently.
Engines are new stuff. Forget which, will look it up.
Probably none for sale at this time. I figure there will be before long if economy does as expected.
Here ya go.. THE WEBSITE!!!!!
