Don't know if the plane was involved in a crash. I believe it more likely was just a victim of a common garden variety Hurricane. A local native girl was asked about it , but she responded only with sign language. :D -------- Both optimists and pessimists contribute to our society.

It seems to have flaps - a modification that Phil Lockwood sells. I don't see the fuselage p an behind the gas tank - but that might be because of the high grass. Yet i t looks as though it ends right at or beneath the gas tank - unlike the sin gle seat Drifter. The molded seat certainly looks familiar - exactly the sa me as mine. And I'm puzzled by the location of the angled downtubes - it ma y just be the camera angle, but they look as though they're in front of the seat - unlike my single seat Drifter, which has the same shaped downtubes behind the seat. And yet it doesn't look as though there's room for another seat in front of the pictured one. The keel arrangement looks like the one on my Drifter.=0A=0A=0ASo my guess is that it's parts from a Drifter, with perhaps parts from other planes, and a lot of mods.=0A=0AArty Trost=0AMaxa ir Drifter driver=0ASandy, OR=0A=0A=0Awww.LessonsFromTheEdge.com/uladventur e2009.htm=0A=0A=0A"Life's a daring adventure or nothing"=0AHelen Keller=0A =0A=0A"I refuse to tip toe through life just to arrive safely at death."=0A =0A=0A________________________________=0A From: 1planeguy <1planeguy@kiloch arlie.us>=0ATo: kolb-list@matronics.com =0ASent: Monday, April 2, 2012 1:43 PM=0ASubject: Re: Kolb-List: Re: Need Help Identifing=0A =0A=0ACrashed or just abandoned...it is a Drifter...no mistaking it. =0A=0A=0A-- =0A =0AJere my Casey=0AKiloCharlieDetailing, Inc.=0AJeremy@kilocharlie.us=0A334-614-017 =============== ________________________________ Message 5 _____________________________________ Time: 08:40:49 PM PST US Subject: Kolb-List: Steel gear legs heat treating facility From: Larry Cottrell Inland Northwest Metallogical Services Inc. 16203 e. Marietta Ave Spokane Wa. 800-379-2231 or 509 922-7663 [Dan] Cost was 75.00 They vertically dip to cool and did come out straight. But no guarantees. It is best to provide a hard cardboard cylinder for shipping. Turn around time was one week. Cost was $75. plus shipping. All holes must be pre-drilled. Andy Slinkard in Washington is finishing his Firestar and contacted me about someone to heat treat the legs. The above is what he found. Some have sent them off to be heat treated and they have come back with a bend in them, which is almost impossible to get out. These guy's apparently hang them which does not put any stress on them. The hardness came out to 47-49 Rockwell.
