3434 was the late Bill Piavis's bird. Years ago I sent him some shots of a wartime training prang, but soon afterwards, I moved and we lost contact. If I'm not mistaken there's at least one wing lurking around there that came off the prototype, RCAF 3464.

Hmmm.....I just realized there's a $7 million lottery tonight.......

Here in the US there's a record $500M draw tonight. They're expecting about 7 million ticket sales per hour today. I'll let you know how I do.

Sad to see that Bill's Yale got bent. He always seemed to regret trading it for the Iskra.

Both are great Yale projects and sad to see them being sold. I have seen both aircraft in person. I believe the wing from 3464 is the one we picked up in AZ for Shane with NA-64 3390.

Both NA-64 3383 and 3456 are progressing well. You can view the progress on our facebook.com/legendofacesaviation

Nope, that wing was from 3425.

Unfortunately, the wing off 3464 used on 3434 was the right wing, the same one ripped in half in the forced landing. :cry:

I believe you need one more wing and this project come with three.Is the extra wing the correct one? :supz:

They have two lefts, one complete and a partial right wing. I have a right wing so maybe it'll work out next time.

I had previously suggested that they could take the parts needed to restore 3434 off of 3448 and I could purchase what was left of 3448 (including the left wing and dataplate :D) Never heard anything back. Oh well.
