Thanks guys! I am in possesion of just such a project and had considered parting it out but the fact is, it is so close to flying I would hate to tear it apart. I'll have to try and find a DAR up here in the frozen north country to discuss it further. I have some knowledge already having gotten a 'hard' landing plane up and flying with new landing gear, prop, new cylinders and pistons, etc. Also started construction on another metal high wing 'bush' type plane. All these should have a little bearing on getting approval....I hope.
