N920MR

Hi Eric,
Thanks for signing up. I think we spoke on the phone about a year ago when I was trying to track down the original builder.

I eventually located Marcus, and I'm still working with him to try and get a "Bill of Sale." I do still have a few questions about the plane's history. Did you buy it from a guy with the last name of Kirk by any chance? If so, that would fill in the last gap I have in the ownership chain, just for my own information.

I'd also like to know why a hole was cut in the top of the header tank? Do you know, or was it like that when you got it?



Of course, I'd also be interested in hearing any further details about that "tailspin." Feel free to leave another message here about anything you feel like talking about regarding N920MR.

I want this website to help others learn everything I'm learning about the process of buying a "previously flying" experimental aircraft!

Again it's good to hear from you again, and I look forward to reading any further info you could provide.

Thanks again,
Dan Yager

Hey Eric,
When I spoke with Marcus, he checked his logbook and said that he had put about 85 hours on the airframe before a gust of wind caught the canopy and ripped it off.

He gave that as the reason for parting it out. It also seems like Marcus has built several more airplanes since this one. When I told him that I had "his plane" in my garage, he initially didn't know which one I was talking about.

I appreciate the background info.

Cheers,
