The Early Bird gets the worm, but it's the Second Mouse that gets the cheese.

The last time I saw one was in Saudia Arabia. It be a ton of fun to fly. Unfortunately, the only way this particular Strikemaster will ever fly again is if it is pushed off a very high cliff. https://www-265.aig.com/AviationSal....pdf&Extension=pdf&Type=p&PictureId=6873

It has a 115HP O-235 that was overhauled last year, along with VGs, tail handle, big tires, and other STCs.
Hmmmmm.... Not sure I want to sell it now.

You are lucky, the left wing usually takes the hit during a ground loop. Used Right wingtip parts are more plentiful than the left.....

just a thought here... bout why not weld the gear leg back together for the trip home? Butt weld then place a scab plate over the weld on the bottom side and weld. Would be a quick fix and would work for the ride home. That said... I may know someone interested. Will speak with him today.

I've been wanting a tailwheel for a while and I'm intrigued by this one.
Brilliant idea on the temporary leg. Rather than weld it, I will see if I can fabricate a bolt on sleeve
