In Partnership on a small two-place all composite Experimental Homebuilt Jet designed for airshow and recreational use, currently under construction.
Fabricating work on client's unique aircraft and components.
Vintage Jet
McCluskey's imported Czech military surplus Delfin L-29 jet trainer received total restoration with four-color camouflage paint job and U.S. built engine conversion.
Ejection Seat
Russian designed and built ejection seat available for experimental home-builts, as well as jet aircraft. These seats were designed for Russian Military planes and for the first time are available to the private sector.
"The Experimental Jet Aircraft is a one-of-a-kind personal project. Its fully molded all composite structure seats two people, is 26 ft. long, has a 24 ft. wingspan, and projected cruise speed of 400+ mph. A partnership was formed in 1990 between composites expert Tom Trefethen (the designer, engineer and primary builder) and McCluskey (the owner, builder, operator) to build a high-performance recreational aircraft. This project is over 50% completed and ongoing."

"As a side-line we have been involved with restoration and repair of some exciting warbirds and race planes, hand building parts for the P-51 "Mustang" and Grumman "Bearcat" as well as several pre-war and post-war designs that necessitated major fabricating efforts."

"I am also associated with Eastern Block Aircraft Service who performs licensing, testing, service and maintenance on the Aerovodochody L-29 and L-39 turbojets. We have restored and retrofitted American jet engines to several L-29's (which I had imported directly from Russia), creating the Super Delfin with fighter like performance and improved reliability."

"We are an installation facility for the Russian ejection seats, in an exclusive agreement to purchase and install the safety devices in suitable aircraft. All engineering and fabrication of the seat is performed by the Russian Manufacturer."
