He seems to want to put it up on a stick outside his airport.

I'm a bit surprised, though. If you hung mid time engines and some Hartzells on it, isn't it a $1million + airframe?
Can you put -10Ts from a 690 on it, or does it have to be from a 900? Or could you go back to -5s?

Unfortunately it appears nowhere close to being economically repairable based on what I’ve seen.

Interesting to see what the insides of those 5-blade props look like, in the pictures of N29GA.
