Because if I were, I would be all over this!  My favorite airplane.   Looks like it would be a hell of a project...

Loving's Love on eBay...

Isn't it amazing how one person's worthless hulk can be another person's life-changing object of drool and desire? 

You're killing me here.  8-) It is so tempting to whip out some cash and tow that sweet heart home!

I just drooled all over homework I was supposed to be grading!

I told my wife she was lucky that thing wasn't within 500 miles of Fort Wayne.  I've never built a plane, but I have the original plans for this and would be willing to give it a shot.  Neal Loving is a personal hero of mine and I even went so far as to build one for FSX, but gave it up and never got it finished.  Maybe I should pick it up again.  I got pretty far on it...

Neal Loving is possibly the greatest unknown story in aviation.

Hi Paul..."Fozzer"

Thanks for the Link...it is well worth reading as you said...

I wonder if there is only one of these aircraft made or perhaps several where one can have a look at the wings.

Here is a Link I found but does not mention number of aircraft built...

The original was painted a cream color and maroon combination and given the race number of '64' but was never raced.

Thanks for the information...much appreciated...

An incredible find there Kev I just hope whoever wins it puts it back where it belongs, in the sky!

I think i'll but it and put a Briggs & stratton in it 28hp, and attach a mower deck under it and build some fold up wings and make a Riding lawn mower out of it to mow my 5 acres, the neighborhood would just Shit ! :-? :-?

Looks like 250.00 is the bid so far.....I smell the start of a simpit for that kind on money....

If anyone has any experience at moving something like this and has a suggestion on how I could transport it 1700 miles, I would be glad to listen.  I want this.  BAD...

Who ever buys it better restore it and get it into the air!

Who ever buys it better restore it and get it into the air!

I dread to think how much that is going to cost to get it into the air, overall!

Its just an empty shell with no wings, engine, instruments, etc, certified Pilot, etc...etc..at the mo!
...and no certificate of Air-worthiness, or Insurance or Hangarage...or anything!.. ...!
