I was the sole occupant and was not hurt at all. I also have a set of skis and a new warp drive prop and hub. Here is a picture of the tracks it made.

Hi Randy,

                 Yes I would be interested but two things.........first I have the wings at home but the rest of the plane is only accessible by boat and getting it on a barge now is a little hard because of low water level. Second I would like to give it a little time and  see if anyone is interested in taking everything

Ok I have about 160 hours experience all in this plane in the last year. I landed on this beach a few times but it was on a narrow gravel bar. I walked around on the sand it didn't seem to soft. I thought the sand would be better. I wanted to land on some tracks that some vehicles made. There was a bit of a crosswind and I didn't quite get lined up with the tracks. I should have aborted and gone around , the end of the beach was coming, l was crabbing into the wind flaps all the way down at 40 mph. I landed flat, it rolled for maybe 75 feet and when it was almost stopped it flipped over and landed upside down.

Randy I don't know the history of the seats they were like that when I bought the plane. 

  Mike I don't know how to answer your question. I was hoping to get $15,000 Canadian for everything. The engine is worth about   10 thousand but that would be after I spend a thousand and get Rotax to check   the crank and slipper clutch, install new seals and do any required repairs. The plane has an Extreme EFIS, mode c transponder, ICOM radio, two place intercom, analog gauges and 406 elt. Also there are spare tires, a set of skis and some parts. So just the plane without the electronics, engine or accessories   isn't worth much but when you start adding goodies it adds up.
