Letting the kids learn how to drive a tractor.

Is it in need of a restoration, or is it airworthy as is? If it's airworthy, fly it until it's on its last legs, then sell it for whatever you can get for it. Put that money towards the next plane....

I'll admit, the more i learn about the -15, the more i have to backpedal on my initial impression. It's beginning to appear to have the potential to be a very good mix of cross country and...

I agree, looks way better up close, and with bigger tires. Now, if they'd just fix that cowling...
Interested to see the inner workings of that suspension.

Also might as well throw the Bearhawk Companion into the comparison, diffetent construction methods, but as far as intended mission, they'd be comparable.

Looking forward to seeing how it stacks...

I wasn't referring to the performance at all. I realize that this is a prototype that is still in the testing phase. I wss just hoping for more innovation and eye appeal, i guess. The cowling...

Underwhelming to say the least... Hopefully the production version gets some cosmetic changes, mainly that engine cowling...

2 cubs won't fit, but any toys your wife doesn't know about would fit nicely (Harley, sports car, etc...) along with your cub!
I dread the day when my wife finds out that I'm really not storing...

I'm assuming its a pole-built hangar? If so, you'd be looking at close to 50k to build the same building at the current prices. Not knowing anything about the demand for hangars in your area makes...

I don't have any info as far as field approvals, just that someone a friend of a cousin's buddy supposedly has a FA...
Grove has a really nice 8" rim to run them tubeless. I have the weight of...

Here's a pic to compare the Desser Aero Classic 27.5 to the 8.50

I have a stock PA-11 seat if that's what you're looking for. PM me if interested.

I see where RedOwl is coming from, but i'd say get at least an 8.50, if not bigger. I know that the old timers went lots of places with small tires, but planes weren't nearly as expensive back then....

If you can get them field approved, the Desser 27.5 wpuld be a great option. They last really well on pavement, and they're a LOT softer than 26" Goodyears. The only downside is they require a 8"...

Where was this plane, and when did the auctiin take place? Sounds like someone had more money then sense!

If you get to check it out in person, be sure to check for cutter bees as well as mice. They'll get into the tailfeathers and wings through the drain holes and pack leaves into the trailing edges. ...

Buy it for whatever you think the paperwork and reusable parts are worth. I couldn't in good conscience, rebuild that plane with the original fuselage if it had been sprayed with. If he would take...

It is still for sale

My wife and i were just talking a few days ago that we oughta do a pancake breakfast or something like that. Maybe we'll try to see if we can get a day that works in the next few weeks.

If anyone headed to JC or winifred from the east needs a place to overnight in NW South Dakota, feel free to camp at my place SD33 on the sectional, 5 miles south of Camp Crook, right along the...

If anyone needs a place to stay on their way to JC or Winifred, feel free to camp here at my strip in NW SD. 4700' paved runway, 2800' grass strip in good condition, right along the Little Missouri...

Have they considered putting it up for auction? That would probably be the best way to determine fair market value.

I'd be curious to know what it brings if it does sell. There's a plane locally...

In the current market, I wouldn't be surprised if it brought 70-75k. 5 years ago, 40-50k tops. Somebody would probably pay too much for it judt because it's a flying plane, without much...

This thread makes me glad that i live where i do....
