graham,
yes i know of the p-40 you have (sam richardson is a friend) and while the control surfaces and fus are not that difficult to work with, the wings in the condition they are in will need 10000+ hours of work by someone who knows p-4o's and or has the equipment to do it (that works out to 200k US even if done in NZ and that just gets you the wings. a long way to go after that). i already spent an airline ticket to come down to new zeland and look at the corsair near Aukland, and when we made a real offer for the pile, we recieved no reply...still, would be intrested in the p-40 if the price made the project economicly feasable..you can contact me any time at the e-mail provided.
