No engine or instruments. There is some kind of motor mount on the front. The canopy is mounted but no latches. The elevators and ailerons move with the stick. The tank appears to be plumbed. It does not appear to be beat-up.

Howdy, I just took possession of an unfinished Q200 airframe. The wings are on with control surfaces. The rear portion of the fuselage is not yet attached. It has been in storage for approx. 25 years. I don’t know who worked on it and there is no paperwork of any kind. Does something like this have any worth? Should I take care of it, or slap it together and tie it out next to the hangar for the kids to play in? If it might be a project that someone would complete and fly, I will take better care of it. How does one tell if the composite structure is sound? Can you tell if it has the fiberglass spar caps and original wing? Or if it has the improved wing? Any advice is welcome. R. Fowler
