Good luck Dave and welcome to the site!
Let us know what you find out there. There's a derelict Scout not far from where I live sitting outside rotting but nobody can get the deceased owner's son to sell it!

Pains me to see it wither...father taught me to fly and son is a very close friend of mine. My kids call him "uncle"
I can't get him to sell me the plane...hurts almost as much as the high school cheerleader sweetheart that "got away"
Find some pictures of old ones that sat outside for 5 or 10 years rotting and show him those.
Or show him the thread with the Decathlon that Bob sold recently. Metal wings, CS prop, 30k!!
Lost my Dad last year so I can relate. But the best way to honor his legacy is for the airplane to fly.

That hurt too Ed..I missed bobs plane by a day or two. Neglected to tune in for a few days or I'd own it. Snooze lose booze rinse repeat. I forgive Bart for not calling me too (insert smiley face thing here)

Bart, I even offered to restore it for him at my expense. when complete we would decide to sell outright, keep as partners or he buy me out for costs ( without labor )
He is very aware of how much his dad meant to me and how much he loved that scout. I've offered to remove the wings and take it to his barn so I didn't have to see it outside anymore...at some point you don't want a plane or money or anything come between friends .
I'd love to say it's the "one that got away".... But the reality is...it's the one that "rotted away"

Yep. Leave it outside long enough and it will be scrap. Consider - fifty grand will buy a really good Scout. Or you can buy a basket case and spend $75 grand to own an sircraft worth fifty. Let it rot; there are plenty other good ones out there.

If ya find a "good one" for sale for $50k look me up...
LOL, believe me, I thought about buying it and I already own a Decathlon!
The wings are falling off but the fuselage fabric is still mostly intact. Interior and FWF are complete, probably still salvageable but it would be a complete rebuild. A Scout's a Scout, worth the effort IMHO.
