I spent some time exploring the Constitution number 2 at Opalocka in the late 1960s. The aircraft was to have been converted to a flying restaurant or some such. It was not 'torched' by vandals, but in an insurance scheme.

The damage was actually slight. The aircraft was not scrapped at Opalocka but some miles away where it had been moved. I also had a chance to discuss the airplane with Tony LeVier at the IPMS convention in Miami during 1968. The aircraft was underpowered according to him. I realize this personal knowledge is classified as 'original research' (and indeed I did explore the airplane) so I have not bothered to post this on the page.

This information is given for those who might wish to know.
