Keep the Skinny Birds Flying Safely
The 88Charlies, a 501c3 organization dedicated to getting youth involved in aviation, has a project that's complete, except for the engine, and is for sale. One wing has been gone through, but not covered (the other needs work), the fuselage has been blasted and primed. All the tail feathers, landing gear and little bits are there.
This is one of the few Flyabouts that left the factory with a 75hp Continental, four cylinder engine inside a pressure cowl: SN 1651. N32317 is deregistered with the FAA, but the number is still available. All her airframe logbooks are there.

They need to get $8K for her. Contact Grant Vandenheuvel <vdh.grant@gmail.com>
They also have another Kansas City girl, a Rearwin Sportster project, for sale...
There is a flying Collegiate based at Palmyra, too.
