We are helping Dick Navratil's wife sell his Sky Scout project. It consists of an uncovered fuselage, wing ribs, spars, center section, landinggear components, uncovered tail section, struts, some shorter streamlined 4130pieces, windshield, and an aluminum fuel tank which needs completing.Photographs are here: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id= ... haringUpon viewing these photographs you will have as much information as is available,without conducting a personal inspection yourself. There are no instruments or firewall-forward components. The engine has alreadybeen spoken for by a local EAA chapter member. The type of glue used in this project is unknown.Dick had said that he wanted to put this aircraft on floats, however we did notsee any floats in the hangar. The drawings for the floats had been loaned toDick, and these have been located and will shortly be on their way back to theirrightful owner.The project resides in a locked hangar in another city, thus I do not have physicalaccess, nor will I be able to answer questions. However I, or other membersof our EAA chapter could help coordinate a visit for someone who is *seriously*interested in this.As to the question of "How much money?" - I would be happy to bring any reasonableoffer to Dick's wife for consideration. Use your best judgement in makingan offer. The project should be considered as an "as is, where is" project,and a new owner would be responsible for transporting it.

The spars are about 35... Doubling that should get you in the ballpark dependingon how well it grades out. Hopefully available in sixteen foot boards.Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Re: Brodhead Schedule of Events
