I was driving down the road in Idaho last year and seen it sitting at a duster field . I left a message on it and the owner contacted me , it’s for sale again but it’s in pretty bad shape now . When I owned it it was in very good condition now the gear is bent , both wing tips are damaged, a hole in the side of the fuse . Wanting the same money I sold it for .

Thanks for the info!
I bought the plane around 1985.
I built up the 2180 engine. I recall using Porsche rods, hydraulic lifter conversion, heavy duty case, Great Plains bearing....but I have long legs,
And with the mid wing I could not work the rudder controls as my knees hit the spar. So I never flew it.
I sold it to a guy in Utah.

I bought 999rp from a guy in Omaha and flew the wings off it for a couple years , it was a wonderful flying little plane solid as a rock in the air and always ran straight on the ground. I then sold it to a guy in SLC and lost track of it until I seen it in Idaho . Faa says he still owns it but it’s deregestered . I would love to have it back but he’s wanting to much for it’s condition .

Last time I talked to him it was $8500

Great photos?
I am wondering if it still had my engine in it with the hydraulic lifters.
It had a single mag and electronic
Ignition for the second plugs, and
Hapi accessory case.
But that was a long time ago. I had only run it less than an hour.
