Carl and Ken: You have inspired me! Ok I like that. I have no idea what it costs to get a used radio, or what trays are interchangeable. Is the whole panel non vendor specific (I find that hard to believe)? Obviously a Michel won't fit where one of those old analog radio dial ones is...
But yes. In the end, a solid airframe and engine is all I really care about. So I already know what I'd pay "extra" for over a basic engine/frame... I just don't know what airframe year/model, except the best for the least..
From reading the hangar stuff I trade speed for useful load. But really what's a few knots and a few pounds?? Nothing to me.
