One of the corsair was stripped down to it's component parts with these being distributed to several sources. I know the landing gear were supposed to have gone to Nelson Ezell, and other parts to Gerry Yagen. This is the one from which the spar is being sold. The other two, one a center section with the spar sawed off just outside the fuselage on either side, and another more complete center section went to Craig McBurney's Bootstrap aircraft. Hope this helps.
