They have been posted on here in the last month or so....... You may want to try a search for them.

I forget the fine details beyond, there isn't much left......

Except for some parts this would be a data plate rebuild.Everything was busted and I mean busted.For what they want for this I can supply new parts that will get you alot farther along.

There was a dicussion on WIX a while ago about this airframe. It sounds like it would have to be a total rebuild or newbuild with the data plate.

It would make an interesting museum piece "as is" but it looks like a total lost cause. Definitely not worth anything near $300,000.00.

I'd probably be willing to pay $40,000, but it really isn't worth what their asking.

Thanks for the info on this I guess I missed the thread on it before. It doesn't look very complete.

He started at 500K and it didn't take long to drop to 300k.

30K might be a little high for that pile of junk. Worth a good laugh if nothing else.

Personally, I think its originallity makes it more valuable as a historic artifact than a potential restoration project. Like everyone says, in order to even make a presentable static restoration 90% of the original plane would have to be replaced. For a flyer, I doubt if more that a few bits and pieces would be usable.
