Kermit is active on Facebook and is pretty good on answering questions.

Must have a Facebook account to send him a message on there.

No, there isnt. Here are the last photos I have of the two airframes from April 2014

What's behind the Hellcat - a Lysander?

Poor ol' 38. 44-26761 looks to be in the same shape as when Dick Lambert had it up in Plainfield IL back in '81 and I got to sit in the cockpit .
IIRC, isn't the booms being cut off what has kept the restoration stalled for all these years?

I think it is money and what Kermit has prioritized to have restored.

Boy, that Lysander has one heck of a side-view mirror!
