Up for auction is a Rihn DR - 107 fuselage and partial tail feathers. This complete kit is sold by Aircraft Spruce with the fuselage tubing kit selling for $703.75. The rest of the build components are completely sold here: 

This fuselage was jigged and welded by an experienced homebuilt aircraft builder who ended up passing away before completing it. The fuselage has very light surface rust, but comes right off with a scuff pad, there is no pitting what so ever. Everything looks to be straight, welded and built well to this point and could make a great aerobatic project. What is seen in the pictures is exactly what you will get. The fuselage it's self is very light and could easily be transported. Local pickup only please.
