In 1991 a plane called the Fergie won "Best New Design" at
Sun N Fun. Since then over 27 kits have been produced and are up and
flying. This year Ferguson Aircraft manufacturers of the Fergie, sold
the design to a new company called Precision Tech Aircraft out of
Cartersville Georgia.
Precision Tech has made some design changes, changing to a new
airfoil, landing gear, and tail section., The airfoil change was
required when the wing spar was changed to a 6 inch spar. 
The Fergie 2 is offered in a quick build kit, with building times of
250 hours, with the factory indicating " a couple of guys could
build the wings in a afternoon." When equipped with the 503 Rotax
engine the plane has a 600 lbs. useful load, climbs out at 800 feet per
minute and cruises at 70 mph.
Another neat thing is that when you are finished flying for the day
the wings fold back onto the fuselage for easy storage in a one car
garage.
