There's an auction OCT 1 in Springfield, Minnesota. A '48 Airknocker 7DC is in the offerings. Maybe the best of the LSA Champs.

I have no idea what it will go for but would be interested in throwing out a lowball bid if somebody could take a look for me, or recommend an IA to hire in the area.

Oh, <edit> http://www.starmanauctions.com/upcomingauctions.5.htm

I don,t see a time for viewing or the time of
the sale. I'm only an hour by air from Springfield.
I'll do a little asking around about someone to maybe
look at it. Try and let you know by the weekend

That would be fantastic 46T. An 85 horse Tcraft is my first choice as it turns out, but a big fin 85 horse Champ is a heck of a bird too. Especially if it can be had at a discount. Unlikely, but worth a try. Especially since I'll be flying it back, if airworthy, over the Rockies in October.

Emory Bored, it does not look like this has flown
since 2001. If you are still interested let me know.
Inspection is the day before the sale.
