I don't know anything about this plane or if the price is right but if you are truly interested in buying it this rule applies to any aircraft type being considered: Identify and locate an individual in your local area who is expertly knowledgeable and familiar with airframe type and engine as well as building parameters/build quality. And then pay him/her to do a comprehensive pre-buy inspection. Good luck.
The builder is an A&P/IA

That may or may not be of much value. If the plane has never flown, this is most likely an A&P with no field history with a Skyraider.Quote:

This assumes you have the shop skills to complete the aircraft.
Happy hunting!
It should not matter to you if the Pope himself built it. You require an unbiased, non-prejudicial evaluation. End of story. Take the advice being offered here and be much better informed and intelligent for it.Quote:
