Default SR71A Help??

Hi Guys

I have a friend who's uncle was in the Hobby about 10 years ago. Recently he passed away and left his Estate to my buddy. Upon helping him sort out many items in his basement I discovered a SR71A.

As luck would have it the plans were there as well as the Drog Chute. There were what looks like Ram Tec 5 inch Fans minus motors. The landing Gear is Mechanical and seem to work while the Servos are shot.

My friend gave me the SR71A since he knows I'm an RC Junkie and if anyone can fix it I will find a way.

I made a Phone call to Charlie Lines up in NY he used to be a very Familiar with the Yellow Kit as Lance Campbell is. This Model Measures 105 inches long and 57 inches wide. Empty weight Minus Motors is 20Lbs. It's all wood and glass many wood formers. This is not the Yellow Kit.

Enclosing some Photos my question is it worth making her ready for flight?

I would need 2 DF motors, 10 servos and misc hardware.

Let me know what you think.

The Hatches were removed so I could see whats inside them but there all intact.
