IT’S A LIT TLE STARTLING to realize that the homebuilding
movement has existed long enough to have generated
its own class of antiques. It’s even more amazing to
realize that some of the airplanes many of us remember
walking past on the flightline at Rockford or early
Oshkosh are nearing, or are well past, the half-century
mark. The sport aviation community definitely has its
own history, and airplanes like the Elmendorf Special,
aka Lil Flip Flop, are part of that history.
