Hi Greg,I saw this plane last summer. It looked real good. Talked to Marvin, he said TedDavis "came down and did the test flying and said it flew great". I forgethow much it weighers. It has a Bernard Pietenpol Corvair, has blower fan and nostarter. He said he has not flown it because it scared his wife too much.Marvin did not want to talk price and told me to make him an offer, I would nothave offered 11k.I shied away from it because the test time has not been flown and the starter issue,Corvairs do not hand prop as easy as A65's.I have a couple more pictures, I can send off-list if you want.Skip________________________________________________________________________________

Skip,Could you send me some more images of this plane? Or direct me to a sitewhere I could look at images of it? I am building a Corvair powered longfuselage and am interested in the cowling set up. Also the engine appears tobe dripping oil, any idea what this is selling for?Robfoto(at)alaska.net-----Original Message-----

Thanks, Skip.I commented because an 8 year old plane with only 2 - 3 hours of test flight time on it is a MAJOR red flag. On the other hand, it could be a really sweet deal.......Greg ----- Original Message -----
