I bought a wreck with a repairable set of Horton STOL wings. The pilot, a great 87 year-old WW2 B-25 pilot said he fell asleep and hit a wheat field at 127 MPH. The big-nose 150G flipped over, causing some skin damage. He says the wings just need some minor skin work. I looked at them as best I could (they were up in the rafters in his hangar)and took some pics. He assures me the wings will be taken down from the rafters soon. I have the Horton installation info and am still searching the aircraft records for the STC. I'll put this up on Ebay sometime in the future unless any Club members are interested. The wings are stored in the hangar in central Washington state and have been since the wreck. The tanks are standard 23 gal.
There's mud and dirt on the wings. The ground was probably wet. He's got them down from the rafters. I'll be going up in July to pick them up. I'll be able to get a better description out when I get them back and in my hangar. I don't know how long the plane rested at the crash site upside-down, but the tanks are dry. Fuel starvation? Maybe, with those standard tanks.
