    PS: I do not mean to suggest that there is anything wrong with the Subaru engines. Simply put, the Capella was designed with specific powerplant parameters taken into account. To my knowledge, no one has attempted to install a Subaru engine in a Capella. What you would get with a Subaru engine is unknown. A "Subella"? A "Caparu"? Anyway, it would'nt be a Capella:)

    Hello Mr. Howell...

    I have an unbuilt Capella 2 seater that is missing the wing spars. Is there a source for the original materials meant for the spars or will I be required to fabricate some. I own a sign manufacturing company and have access to untold amounts of
    extrusions.

    Thank you...
