I live in Va Beach and would be willing to look at the plane if anyone isinterested in it. If it turns out to be a friend of mine I have anassociate that does appraisals that could give an unbiased opinion ifneeded. If I'm biased I'll say so and my comments are worth what you pay(nothing, the pay that is).Hank J>> BTW, there's been a partially complete GN-1 for sale in Va. Beach, VA for> some time now - a local guy was interested & the seller sent him photos.It> looked pretty decent & fairly well along (fuse, ribs, tail feathers, some> fittings & an old junk Franklin). Price was ~$700. It was listed in the> 'for sale' section of Grant Maclaren's old BPA website. Don't remember the> guy's name, but the phone # was area code 757. It is not identified in the> ad as a GN-1, but that's clearly what it is.>> The seller is not the builder - he said he bought it off a widow & heknows> nothing about it's history.>> Cheers,>> Kip Gardner (I DID mention the T-craft fly-in this weekend, didn't I?) ;)>>> North Canton, OH>>________________________________________________________________________________

I have cleaned them up and they are waiting toget milled .020 over. Make sure if you go with Corvair power that you getWilliam Wynnes conversion manual at flycorvair.com. It outlines everythingyou need to do for a good Aero'Vair.DJ________________________________________________________________________________
