Tom,
At last count I know of only 2 razorbacks airworthy...3 if you count the Champlin machine...but that won't likely fly again. There are several around the world that are potential airworthy projects..but as you suggested it would take a great amount of funding. Lets be thankful stephen is generous...and enjoys his "hobby"...
