I only read the kitplanes article, but it's from 2013. And the intrepid designer/builder, Mr. Treadwell, was a WWII B-25 pilot. So Father Time may well have had his say in the matter... but that airplane is amazing to say the least!

Here is a neat YouTube video of the finished (?) airplane having the Rotecs run up.

And some more pics here, including one of a gear collapse during taxi in 2014.
