This is the place where the majority of the warbird (aircraft that have survived military service) discussions will take place. Specialized forums may be added in the new future

It looks like it was a neat plane.
Skycraft 447

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?
