I have a heap of info on this, but will have to clear it first. It is a mix of original parts from several different aircraft ( NOS and wrecks) and new build material, so make of that what you will.

Thanks Dave... I went through my files and it looks like this one was under my radar. An AS bird would've certainly caught my attention before now! The main question I have is, is this just a "pretty face", i.e. a scheme chosen strictly because it was attractive, or is the restoration based on that aircraft's data plate?

Thanks again,

Lynn

Wow...if they negociated a real McCoy for 200K$, then all the better for them.

Is it a shell ? And does it have an engine ?

Tks Dave


I'd think if they are going to hang it they would not want an engine in it. And most likely anything that would add weight that would not be seen from the ground. (That is just my thought on it, for the record)
