Mitchell Super Wing U-2 project.
Today I was asked by a friend to go with him and take a look at an
unfinished homebuilt project. The owner started this project back before 1986 and past away a couple of years ago. Not much work was accomplished. The project is a Mitchell Super Wing Model U-2. From my quick review I saw two spars, a flock of wood ribs, several sheets of plans, and a shipping box (maybe 8" by 10" by 15') full of wood material from Wicks aircraft. I was told that there were several sheets of plywood (very thin) that belong to the project. I have no idea as to how useful any of this stuff might be. I was asked to help an elderly lady decide what to do with this stuff, and that is what I am doing. If there are any U-2 builders out there who might find this stuff useful, that perhaps you can ship me an email and I will put you in touch with the owner. The material is located in Southeast Iowa. I do not have a listing of what was originally included with the kit. If interested, email at . Oh, yes. There are over 280 unopened boxes containing plastic model kits. Several different scales. Some of these boxes are 40 years old, and I am told that there are many unusual types there. It seems that the guy liked to buy kits, and just never got around to assembling them. I have a list.
