265

OWNER/BUILDER: Mike Devroy

REGISTRATION:

Originally Hatz#148, Mike is rebuilding some of what was constructed and is finishing the project using plans #265. "Crazy" Mike, as he's known because of his enthusiastic penchant for finding and buying Hatz and Kelly-D aircraft around the country, flying them home over mountains and great distances, only to sell them shortly after because of his own project, is one of the true Hatz Nutz.
