You hit the nail on the head Ryan. I'm curious to know how long this plane has been advertised on the Courtesy site. I just spoke with the owner (Jim Frye) about a week and a half ago and he made no mention of a decision to sell the project.

You gotta admit it's one beautiful piece of work so far. This is the plane that proved that a new F4U main spar could in fact be successfully manufactured from scratch. Bits of FG-1D, F4U-4, and F3A-1 were all used in the restoration. That and a hell of a lot of scratch building talent :)
