    Thorp T-18 with a V-tail?

    Way back when, I seem to recall seeing an article in Sport Aviation (maybe it was another mag, but I doubt it) about a Thorp T-18 with a V-tail. I want to say it was green and the plane had the moniker "Green Apple" or something to that effect.

    I've searched the archives for various combinations of searches and come up with nothing. Is there any change someone recalls this or could help me find the article or pictures?

    The n- number is N23GA if that will help. It's a lot more than a T-18 with a V tail. The official designator is Greenapples AT 19

    Blowing the dust off and Cracking this one open... I heard it was extensively modded... anyone have any ideas aside from the newsletter what mods? Was it the wide body? Performance?
    Which sport aviation was it in?
