1975 - Looking at a BD-5 Project

In 1974 or so I got interested in building an airplane. I had a pilot's license but no airplane to fly other than rented ones. I was talking to Jim Bede about buying plans for his BD-4 one day when he told me I might want to wait a bit because he had something new coming. Later I got an invite to come see the new BD-5. These photos are from that day at the Livermore airport.
