      Yea,

      I had two spare A-65's when I had my "Tailer Crafts" and sold them when I got rid of the L-2. Ahhhhhhh.......

      Heck, I'm just trying to get what I need right now for Scarlett let alone spares.

          I have bought a lot of things on ebay that where not listed incorrectly. I look at the aviation section several times a day, not just by key word but by going thru the whole new listing section. Once you get thru it once the new stuff is easy to check out and only takes a few minutes.

            What do yo use as a search distractor? "Taylorcraft" seems to bring up a lot of little electric RC models (got to get one of those one day).

                I was just going to ask that question.

                Hank, a little further on this is to click on 'Motors' on the left upper part of the main Ebay page, then 'Parts & Accessories' and then you will find 'Aviation' with several categories under that.

                            Below is a copy of the message I sent to the moron on ebay. The sad part is another moron will probably pay his price, thereby perpetuating the lunacy.

                            My question is; do you realize how much you have ruined what was once a fine antique airplane? You have desecrated a work of art. And to ask 25K for an abomination like that, some nerve. In just the one picture of the instrument panel there are several major blunders that any restorer will have to "undo", meaning your airplane has little or no value as an antique. If someone offers you half of the current bid, take the money and run. Shame on you, shame, shame, shame. This would be like taking a fine antique automobile and putting shag carpeting and a small block chevy engine in it. Unbelievable!
