Paul,
You may be correct on that one...I jumped the gun a bit without my reference material. I recall reading that in the USAFM Friends journal...one was to be built for the museum as non airworthy and a couple more to be built from the same patterns. I will definetly follow up on this as time allows...lots of digging through storage boxes!!
