While this is true, and was why TFC sold the B-25, the F7 Tigercat and the Mosquito, its not really the reason for the lack of progress on the TFC, its the engine issue. TFC have tried (and came close to) selling the Beau as a project, and if the engine issue can be resolved, its likely that they will complete the Beau and then sell it as a flying aircraft, which will likely be easier than as a non-flying project.
