I've been a lurker for a while and I'm getting more serious on undertaking another aircraft project (my first was a Vans RV-7A). The open cockpit biplane bug has a firm hold on me and I'm looking forward to a more involved build.
An Acrosport 2 project has become available in my local area; it is being sold by a widow and her son. The builder was a long time member of my EAA chapter. While they do not have a number in mind, if I were to make an offer I want it to be fair. If the fair number chases me away that's OK, at least they will have a starting point. I went out to see the project today and here's where it stands.
Plans:
The plans are available but I'm not sure if everything is there. Does anyone have an index I can use to determine if all the sheets are accounted for?
Wings:
Two wings are structurally complete, varnished, and have their ailerons installed. The center section for the upper wing is structurally complete and varnished. For the two remaining wings, it appears that the wing ribs are complete and one aileron is complete. Hardware appears to be available for the incomplete wings, the spars are not available. Nothing is covered.
Fuselage:
The metal structure is fully welded and painted however the gear is not entirely complete. The control sticks and rudder pedals are installed; movement is free, no binding. The structure to attach the upper wing has not been fabricated and the material is not available. Everything firewall forward is not available, nothing is covered.
Tail Feathers:
The horizontal stabilizers, elevators, and rudder are structurally complete and primed, they are not covered.
Thanks,
Steve
