Here we go with a project to build a Sequoia F.8L Falco. I've heard a lot of good things about the Falco over the years, and finally realized it is the project for me. Just to check, I attended the West Coast Falco flyin in Fredericksburg,Texas last September, and it was clear the world needs another one of these lovely aircraft. It had just as well be from Nebraska, USA.
Since I've never built an airplane, I expect to learn a lot on my own and from the intrepid breed of those interested in this sort of thing.
Welcome to the wonderful world of the Falco. I didn't build mine. Bought it from the original builder and it's still in its original configuration.

I am interested in following your progress as I bought a Falco project and am starting to work on it.

I just descovered your website a few moments ago. I have been interested in the Falco since the early 90's when I bought the plans and a spruce materials kit. Just recently I have begun to seriously work on the project. I will continue to follow your work as an inspiration to me. I live in southern California but am originally from Nebraska and visit there often. In addition to your project and David Silchman's flying Falco, it would be interesting to know what other Falco activities are in Nebraska.

Good luck with your project, Gary. I know of a couple other Nebraskans with Falcos in their past, but none other that are current.

Can anybody suggest how to became a US registered Falco owner although
not being a US citizen? That is because importing it in Italy where I live is practically impossible (I should dismantle it completely and rebuild it under Italian Register control,as the airplane I want to buy is a home built one). So the only way is to fly it in Europe under US markins and with US licence. Thanx
