Rob -

I saw NR1313 in Chicago in May 2002, so it cannot be the same machine in Maine since 2000.

Could it be the reproduction of NR614K built around 1980 by Jim Younkin with tail wheel, larger tires and fiberglass wheel pants, as well as a Lycoming R-680 instead of the original Wright R-975?

Unless it is the mythical NR613K used by Pancho barnes and believed stored somewhere in California ... that would be great news!
