OK, lied.....I'm still here...was asked to stay
Let me try this again, and PLEASE, I'm just looking for a little help and info, not a critique of my semantics, or smug comments OK?, I inadvertently left out a word in my original post, mea culpa.....
The A/C in question is a '78 152, compete, but without an engine. The group that owns it wanted to do a O-320 150hp hotrod job, but found the STC too expensive for their program. The group is a non-profit that does restorations and mods with young students, and they trade work time for dual instruction. It's run by committee, so it moves slowly. I don't know what they paid for the airplane, but I felt that if I could get it cheap enough, it would pay off to have the group put her back together, and perhaps do a Taildragger mod, and a STOL program as well. So, that's my question, what might it be worth ballpark, hopefully not Ryan Braun's salary! My biggest expense will be the engine.
So, if anyone would like to give me ideas, (without spelling corrections), I am listening......
