I think it deserves to be here...If I still had a hanger I would be tempted to buy it...I do think it was underpowered and probably a handful to fly but nothing an IO 540 GS couldnt have tamed.

That is cool. I hope it finds a good home.

I think Square One of Chino did quite a bit of the work on that Skycraft quite a few years ago.

On the subject, if one found a "cool" plane like that and was already going to do a lot of work to restore it, would it be possible to buy the type certificate and build more? Does anyone on the board know about the possibilities of buying a type certificate and re-manufacturing say some old biplane?
