Ended up with this in a trade.

Ridgerunner 3 (?)
Professionally built, jigged and tig welded 4130, powdercoated fuselage.
Tandem seating, dual controls.
All AN hardware, lost of PMA’d parts/instruments/gascolator etc..
fuselage assembled and ready for cover (?)
Tail feathers covered in Polyfiber thru pink (polybrush)
Wings partially assembled. Ailerons and flaps - yes, flaps! Need assembly.
Has an engine and prop, engine runs. 2 cyl 4 stroke 35 hp (?)
Really cool looking project but I’m too busy to take it on.
Really needs a Rotax 60 - 90 hp, not so sure about the engine that’s on it. It has no build plans or paperwork and sold as is.
$3000 with engine $2000 w/o
Located at KIZA (Ca.)

I’d like to find out more about this kit if anyone has any info on it.
Happy to provide photos or parts inventory.
Feel free to email

Hey Doug,

I think the guy who was making those kits got way behind or went through a divorce or something. Can't quite remember the details but there was a guy who used to be on here who flew one in the Philippines or Papua New Guinea or somewhere...he loved it. That guy ordered a second one and never got it and complained about it a lot here. Never did hear if there was a resolution to the whole thing.

Edit: I found the thread. It's a rollercoaster.

One of those with a rotax in it would be a hoot…
