Ouch. Somewhere I have pics of the one "M" I rebuilt 3 times, and the second time it came back it looked just like that. Broke the guys back and legs, but lived. That is strictly a parts plane.

Well, Wentworth is pretty optimistic on the price for the plane. I think the top bid is much closer to reality. It would be one of those projects where you start with the data tag and build a plane around it. I like how they were touting things in the ad like the fact the engine was a factory reman only 20 something years ago (never mind the engine is junk now...) Guess they'll be keeping it...
