An executive pilot for Eastman Kodak’s Gulfstream, Joseph Palermo built his single-seat P-10 registered N666Q from plans published in Mechanics Illustrated magazine, but changed the tail configuration and skinned the steel tube fuselage with .025 magnesium alloy. The $600 craft took six years to build.
The wing has fabric covered wood structure and is fitted with Palermo’s own designed tips.
