Is anyone looking for a VK Fokker trip project?

Is anyone looking for a VK Fokker trip project? I started it back in 2000 and after finishing the fuselage I though “heck that wasn’t so bad I could build a real one”, well I’m still building and the VK is just sitting there so if you want it, its yours. My only requirements are:
You need to pick it up, I will not ship. I’m in CT
You need to send me pictures when done.
And most importantly, if I screwed something up you have to keep it to your self!!!!!

Thanks
Ed

Hey Ed.....wow, what an offer! Has anyone accepted yet?
Ya know, that would make for an interesting thread here on the forum......
Just a thought.

No one yet. Thought it would be hard to find someone in the area.

I live in CT. where are you? I live in New Milford. Here's a photo of my old VK triplane. Maybe it will spur you on to complete it! It took me a long time but was worth the effort. When I needed the engine for another model, I removed it and then donated the model to the Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome model collection.

How far from LaGuardia Airport are you? If I coiuld pick it up from you I could handle the rest of your requirements. I once was in the same boat with a VK CAmel. I fleshed out the fuselage got stuck and turned the kit back over to a LHS Owner Years ago.

Ed ,"What's the cost of this project?" I live in Southington,Ct. Are you looking for someone to finish the plane and return it to you? Also before getting into this lovely

hobby of r/c planes I raced triumphhillclimbers and Weslake speedway motorcycles

Let me know,
