Please don't assume that if a deal fails to transpire that the buyer, seller, or auction mechanism is at fault.
There iare a lot of risk when purchasing any proprietary item on Ebay that is of unknown condition. An independent inspection was warranted to mitigate these risks. In my opinion, this particular project has good potential but my own risk/reward assessment broke down as I weighed the advise and input of several independent sources.
If someone is interested in this project I would offer them my assessment to help them assess their own risk-reward on the merits of the facts. A lot of passion and hard work was put into this aircraft and I would not want to discredit that effort in any way.
