Because if I were, I would be all over this!  My favorite airplane. Smiley  Looks like it would be a hell of a project...

Isn't it amazing how one person's worthless hulk can be another person's life-changing object of drool and desire?  Grin

I told my wife she was lucky that thing wasn't within 500 miles of Fort Wayne.  I've never built a plane, but I have the original plans for this and would be willing to give it a shot.  Neal Loving is a personal hero of mine and I even went so far as to build one for FSX, but gave it up and never got it finished.  Maybe I should pick it up again.  I got pretty far on it...  Smiley

Neal Loving is possibly the greatest unknown story in aviation.  His name needs to be remembered up there with Linbergh, Earhardt, Jimmy Dolittle, etc not because of his accomplishments, which where noteworthy, but because of the adversity the man had to overcome.  Here is a video of him speaking on Youtube:

Hi Paul..."Fozzer"

Thanks for the Link...it is well worth reading as you said... Wink

I wonder if there is only one of these aircraft made or perhaps several where one can have a look at the wings.

Here is a Link I found but does not mention number of aircraft built...

The original was painted a cream color and maroon combination and given the race number of '64' but was never raced.  After that, Loving repainted it to the blue and white scheme at the EAA museum and took it on an international tour hitting several Caribbean Islands and ending up in Jamaica.

There are several existing replicas, but I think you can count the number on one hand.  There is the original, one at the Sun-N-Fun museum in Lakeland, Fl (where I first encountered Loving's story) and I think I remember hearing of one more, and then there is this one.  It should be saved...

Here is the one in Lakeland.  The man who built it was actually the commander of a squadron of U2 spy planes.  Cool

If anyone has any experience at moving something like this and has a suggestion on how I could transport it 1700 miles, I would be glad to listen.  I want this.  BAD...

I dread to think how much that is going to cost to get it into the air, overall!

Its just an empty shell with no wings, engine, instruments, etc, certified Pilot, etc...etc..at the mo!
...and no certificate of Air-worthiness, or Insurance or Hangarage...or anything!.. Shocked...!

Need/Want/Affordability... Wink...

It needs Captain Sensible's advice!... Grin...!
