This might have been the stuff that ended up at Doug Champlin's place, and eventually went to the Texas Airplane Factory to serve as the basis for their new-production line of Oscars.

I have a photo somewhere of the Oscar wreckage as it sat in outdoor storage at Champlin's place in Mesa, AZ. It was all packed nicely into a huge hand made crate that resembled some kind of woven basket! Must have been the handy work oof the natives where the planes were recovered.
