Hatz #532 is finished at last!

Post by jhughes »

Hatz 532 was started by Art Bujonowski in Connecticut in the mid ninties. Unfortunately Art passed away and the project was sold to me. Finally I got it done. It weighed in at 976 pounds with a Lycoming O-320 with an electrical system , radio, transponder and encoder i need to fly around Boston and Manchester NH airspace. There is also an added 12 inches of fuselage on the back. Art had a love for Gypsy Moths so he squared the tail and wingtips to make it look more like one.
