Found this on my lawn this morning! Must have fallen from the sky!
I don't know what it is but I think I will try to sell it.

could it be that it was destroyed because the owner was smart enough
to part it out while he was still alive?

Good point... In other photos he's holding up a replacement tail boom,
if I had to guess, I'd say it sheared its own tail off after collapsing
the skids and thats why there are no blades/skids pictured... That
seemed to be a common cause/effect situation with previous research I
did on the type... Appears all the gauges/interior were parted out as
you stated...

Looks like it would make a nifty portapottie, if you tinted the plexi...

Rig a turbine on it, so it shreds everything on its way out...

Giving the old saying "When the byproduct hits the impeller" a whole new
dimension?
