Woodstock, just like it says to the left there... :lol:
So it's about 1 1/2 to 2 hours away from where the UC-78 parts went.

Hi all. When I saw this item, I was in the middle of sorting and scanning a collection that has taken several decades to accumulate and managed to turn up one photo which should be of interest. It seems that the lady's career was not entirely uneventful!

What a great barn find! IF it were mine I would source the wings and any other missing parts as soon as possible. Did it come with a propellor?
It's great that it had both paint schemes, they both look great. Engines and parts are going to be available, and there will be plenty of time to find what is needed for a rebuild.
My suggestion is to start on the items that others always tear up in a groundloop or other landing accident. Then if you have to sell the project for some reason in the future, it will be intrinsically more valuable than if you were to start on the fuselage or tail feathers.
Way to go!

It is a great find indeed. I think you should start with telling CHAA that you want your wings back. :D

I'd be curious to find out how differently/similar it flies from the Harvard. I know the stall characteristics are quite different...now you're flying, now you're not.

Please keep the pictures coming as you progress!

Guess thats why the engine only has 140 hrs.

Tom,
If you can find more info and a pic or two of what is left, that would be great. She could donate some parts to another worthy N3N:)

Hi legendofaces. I'm up to my armpits in photos, but I got the computer to do a quick search. So far I have 3343, 3353, 3363, 3373 and 3382. Close, but no ceegar.

However, many of the photos are of large flights of aircraft and the captions I have applied temporarily only list the one closest to the camera. Give me some time and I am sure I will find one.
