I went to look at a Pietenpol biplane conversion in Aurora, Oregon,
and saw an overgrown BD-5 resting in the back of the Pietenpol's
hanger.

I've been told that it is the one and only BD-7 built.  It is a
4 place of small to moderate cabin size.  The wings weren't mounted,
and I never saw them.  It is engineless, and the panel is mostly stripped.

A friend of mine said that it had only flown once, and inferred that
it wasn't a "happy" flight.  Can anyone relate any *true* stories
about this airplane's history?
