 Those papers on line? The Skymaster is one of my favorite airplanes, and
 one that would make a great Mazda powered design. I know a fellow who
 bought a scrap one as a kit project, fabbed his own new glass wings (based
 on updated designs) new engines, etc, and with FAA permission, registered
 it as "experimental" as he did over 50% of the building!

  I am working on a trade that would give me a Skymaster hull neerly
free if so I plan to do this. I seams there is a AD note on the
spars and many will scrap them.
