New member here so I hope I'm in the right forum. I apologize if I'm in the wrong place. Move me if needed. 
A friend called me this morning & said had an airplane he'd acquired. He wanted to cut it up for the aluminum in it. I got him stopped and went to investigate. He has the fuselage/landing gear/tail wheel/tail feathers(elevator~rudder)/joystick/some linkage/panel gauges/prop and motor only. Nothings covered and there's no wings.
There's 'some' paperwork with it but we didn't have time to sort thru everything. No receipts we could find. The only thing I can say for sure is it is an Affordaplane and the previous owners wife stated it ran because her husband with dementia started it up in their shop and literally tore the shop up with the prop-wash. Hence... my friends new ride.
Now I need help identifying what he has and hopefully a buyer so it doesn't get chopped up if there's a buyer for anything.
I'm totally ignorant about almost anything on the plane. The prop is in new/perfect condition. (Tennessee Propellers Inc/60~36/$430~$470). Gauges aren't named (Garmin/Bendix/etc)
Motor looks clean, for what that's worth. Hobbs meter shows 7.9 hrs but..? I'm somewhat certain the motor is used because of the dirt on it but maybe..? Unknown what motor this is. Doesn't look like any Continental or Lycoming I've ever seen.
Any help that anyone could/would or is wiling to provide would be really appreciated. I don't want him to chop this up. I'm up to my rear-end in legal projects trying to help people and may be slow in getting back here so please don't be offended if I don't respond very quickly.
Thanks to all that can assist... be safe
