I recall seeing it at Barre-Hiller Airport (now called Tanner Hiller) "back in the day". Len Tanner rebuilt a wrecked 2-32 and was going to use it for parts. As I recall though, it had a Wankel engine, not an 0-200 located where the rear seat would be. Fuel bladders in the wings Back then there was a big demand for 2-32s for tourist flying and guys were rebuilding them from really bad wrecks and scrounging everywhere for parts. Tanner rebuilt one and Harry Nikitias did 3. I did the test flying for all 4 rebuilds.
