Man - it took a lot of ALCOHOL to build that plane. Let the beer jokes roll!

Yes there are, Mel 
9 years and 930 hrs!
I don't need to worry about a pre-buy inspection because she will never be for sale.

Can't somebody do something?
Can't something be done to insure that this plane has its airworthiness certificate rejected and registration revoked? This could get somebody killed.

I agree.
My guess would be somewhere between 75 - 100

I especially like how each alternate screw is tipped the other way. Shows the builder cared about symmetry.

Those photos scared the heck out of me. I can't believe anyone could consider that to be anywhere close to acceptable workmanship. I'd love to know more about those photos... not names or places, but other details: was this all one plane or several different ones? Did they actually get an airworthiness certificate looking like that, or is this post-certificate damage? ... and on and on...
Dang.... I might not be able to sleep now...
