Was this ever recovered?

Slinky: Rob had the property owner stuff, and was chasing the crash report data years ago. Since then he suffered some very serious health issues and the last I heard back in '16, he was on the mend, but things were pretty slow. I'll have to ping my contact for him and see if I can get a report on how he's doing and if he ever was able to chase down the accident reports.

Thanks! How's your project coming along? Seems like you were making some progress till the move....don't you have several engines now?

Slinky: No real visible progress, unless you count the growing piles of parts in the office and warehouse. I've spent a bunch of time over the last year or so, gathering up radio, electrical and oxygen system parts. I think I'm short one light fixture for the inside of the fuselage, and a couple of O2 blinker gauges. I haven't been able to identify the walk around bottles yet, but will at some point.

I know I don't have a landing light yet, but the one I need is pretty scarce and probably going to be pricey if I find one. Switches and breakers will end up being modern for the most part, for safety. As for the radio stuff, I've got everything but a couple of the mounts, and the base for the ADF football. I need to get it all in one place and take a full inventory one day.

Engines have turned into a real oddball situation. When I have $ and can spend it on them, everyone thinks they have a crate of platinum bars...When the $ aren't there, they come out of the woodwork for decent money. One of these days, I'll get it all coordinated and they will happen.

Best of luck, I wish you well!
I decided to hang on to my PT-23 and get it flying.
