Here's a link to a picture of the Q-Star at Tanner Hiller from a decade ago. Don't remember who bought it.

The recon unit I was in used those converted 2-32's to silently fly low at night and listen to anything Charlie was up to. As I remember, it had a great big muffler, but I believe the idea was too cut the motor and glide in and listen for god knows what.........maybe Charlie roaring in laughter? I always thought it was a crack-pot idea!

Stan Hall worked on the YO-3A that Lockheed developed along these same lines. Believe they built the prototype in his garage...

http://airfactsjournal.com/2017/01/a...arbird-flight/ I recall seeing it at Barre-Hiller Airport (now called Tanner Hiller) "back in the day". Len Tanner rebuilt a wrecked 2-32 and was going to use it for parts. As I recall though, it had a Wankel engine, not an 0-200 located where the rear seat would be. Fuel bladders in the wings Back then there was a big demand for 2-32s for tourist flying and guys were rebuilding them from really bad wrecks and scrounging everywhere for parts. Tanner rebuilt one and Harry Nikitias did 3. I did the test flying for all 4 rebuilds. Roy
