Larry,
Great points! Good observation....too bad the seller had to hide that from you - I consider that unethical if he knew but selected not to inform you.
Having never dealt with a "crashed plane" like that, it would be interesting to see what folks think of purchasing such an aircraft IF the plane was rebuilt and certified to fly again...
I know nothing about getting general aviation planes with major damage back into "airworthy" condition, but assume the owner would have to go through major hoops with the FAA to get the plane recertified?
As long as the buyer KNEW the plane had damage, and the damage was fully rectified, would there be any other reason to refrain from purchasing such a plane given the price was right?
Having flown some previously "banged up" USAF planes, I don't think I'd have a problem buying the right plane at the right price if it was truly repaired.
Thoughts? Anyone with any experience good or bad out there?
Thanks - MM
