Temptation if I only could

[Dangerousdave26]

I would love to but this but getting it here from Texas would be a challenge. I would probably have to store it at @Panther_99FS house for as few weeks.

A 1946 J3 with a $100 reserve? Sounds like a glorious money pit waiting to happen.
Do you know how to use a wood plane to carve new spars?

Just pop the wings off and roll it into a U-Haul, job done!

You take a flight to Texas, then fly the aircraft back home.

"Vertical stab has tear in fabric" - yes it does and I bet that's more expensive than it looks, too...

Duct tape will fix that tear right up!

Didn't even know of this auction site, had me at J-3 and then I found the UH-1. That would be a fun x-country back to AZ.

Funny that you mention that! I'm about 3 miles from a grass private airfield where the residents literally have their houses and hangars on the taxiway. That thing would fit in seamlessly!
