I will send photos of the plane tomorrow. Sorry but I lost the photos from this computer.
The plane is owned by an acquaintance of mine. He has lost his medical, and needed help fixing the plane. I will tell you everything that I know about the plane. It was built by a guy in Chandler Arizona. He flew it for awhile and sold it to a guy in Washington state. That person went off the runway and the nose gear collapsed. The lower cowl was smashed and the plane flipped over. The canopy was damaged, and the vertical stab was broken off. That person sold it back to the builder, who started to repair the tail. That person was having some personal issues and sold it to the current owner. I was hired to help ( or do all ) of the repair work. I have my own KR2 that I had to do the similar work to. I have over 320 hours on mine now. Back to the story. We repaired the lower cowl, had a new canopy made by Todd's Canopy. We rebuilt the Elevator and reinstalled. We finished the vertical and reglassed. The plane had 2 and 3 coats of paint on it. We removed all of the paint and did some small glass repairs on small air bubbles in the glass. I reprimed and painted the plane top and bottom. It has a new battery. After I got the wings back on I started and ran the engine for about an hour. It ran great and all of the temps were good. It does not have a radio or a transponder. The interior is dated but is ok. It is out of annual, duh. It has wheel pants that were never installed, and dual headsets. There is very little as far as log books on the plane. New tennesee prop. any other info will have to come from additional questions to the current owner, but I dontl think he knows much more than that. Phots will be sent tomorrow.

First is do you have any more pictures? I couldn't make out a tail number, has it been de-registered or still have a number? Does it have a header tank for fuel, or are the tanks in the wings? Is it stock width/length, or a 2S? How quickly would it need to be removed from Mesa, is there hanger space available there, etc? I'm in Chicagoland, and finding a decent day or two to make the trip back can be tricky this time of year, so it might be necessary to leave it in Mesa for a few more months if that's possible. I'm assuming it's airworthy enough to handle a short 1500 mile cross country. On that note, have you flown or are familar enough with the plane to comment on that? Bearing in mind of course that it is a homebuilt, buyer beware, all that jazz.
