Joe Schumacher has built or restored more than 40 aircraft in the last 35+ years, including building three SX-300s and restoring two. On the list are many of Van’s RV’s. He wouldwelcome any serious buyers to visit his shop near Iron Mountain, MI (IMT), in order to see this project in process as it nears completion. There are good connections through Minneapolis via Delta Airlines (rental cars available in IMT) or through Green Bay, WI, about a two hour drive to his shop in Florence, WI.
