Nice view - we get to see the box shape alright. But, you say it was flown in, then is to be restored to flying condition. Oops - seems a bit of a contradiction here. Gave me a bit of a laugh. Any chance of a photo of the inside? Keep up the good work. :-)

@T.Rex: I should have been more specific. It was flown in to the Buckeye Municipil Airport in 2016, but it was not in the original condition. For instance, this picture shows t with three-bladed props, it should have four-bladed props. There are many other parts that make it flyable, but the idea is to restore it to factory specs,
