That's not a new idea. That was done here with the fairey firefly that ended up being the champ at oshkosh I think it was last year. the centre section and some parts came from an example that had sat up a pole for some years to aid in the rebuild of a crashed example while it was still here.
: Hi All,
:
: Just a idea, I was talking with Mint Moore hear a couple o
: f days ago. We were talking about certain Corsairs and it
: dawn on me that their are a number of Corsairs that are in
: museums that are could give their airworthy parts so othe
: r aircraft could fly.
:
: Mainly what I was thinking is that taking the spars from m
: useum planes and switching them with projects that have no
: n-airworthy one.
:
: I can think of at least five Corsair that will never fly b
: ut still have airworthy or close to airworthy spars.
:
: Along with this thought Scott, Tulio and I were talking ab
: out this Sat. how some Museum could take airworthy parts a
: nd sell or trade them. I would like to know what the rest
: of you think especially restorers and museum owners.
:
: Cheers Rob

: PS: Scott, Tulio that was a fun time on Sat. we must do th
: is more often.
