Yes, I suppose you're right mate. It's a terrible shame though. I can almost see it touring places like Alaska, on camping/fishing trips. Maybe a fabulously rich colonial ( Airboatr, Fly Texas ) could pay to have it returned to the air.

Returned? It hasn't flown yet. If it blows off the restaurant roof, that would be its official first flight! ;)

By the way, to see what else this gentleman designed, have a look here: https://abpic.co.uk/pictures/registration/PH-COR
The second photo shows the illegally flown 'FB-25' which was his first design. The PH-COR registration on that was never official. The other PH-COR (the low wing one) was his second design, this time in full compliance with home-building rules and such and as the photos show, it did cross to the UK at least once. It is stored but with plans to get it flying again. His third design, which also flew, is this one: https://abpic.co.uk/pictures/registration/PH-KOR
