The Camillus one has been in there a while. Lots of promises, but no proof of claims. For instance, he says the motor is "low miles", but can provide nothing to back it up. He's also had it in there for 6-8 months, and no change in price.

It's outside of Syracuse. About 1 to 1.5 hours depending on where.
So far it's been for sale at least since early summer. No change in price, pics or description in all that time.

The book that golftdibrad linked to is extremely well-known within the locost community. It's sort of the Bible, and if I understand correctly was the basis for Keith's early locost build as well.

BTW, I've got the book and read it many times. Lots of pics, and quite outdated. My copy says 17.99 on the back cover. I doubt my brother (who bought it for me) paid much over 20 bucks, if even that much. I got it for Christmas about 10 years ago. It may have gone out of print since then, but the plans for the frame are available online. Search McSorley Locost.
