Designed by Bradley Aerospace of Chico, California and built by members of local EAA Chapter 1241. Because the aircraft kit was donated to the chapter and was stored for about five years in the salt air of the Florida Keys, it has never been flown; nor has the VW engine ever been started. It is a popular attraction, especially with children, at the EAA chapter museum. It is a very good example of a kit-built experimental category aircraft.
