It's safe to start making plans, someone up and makes an offer on your airplane. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> I guess I will be birdless in a couple of weeks if the pre-buy goes according to plan. Kind of relates to the "appreciative asset" topic. I bought, I upgraded, I had an expensive annual and sold...all for about breakeven, so I am not whining. Paid my insurance fuel and basic annual costs, but that is the cost of onwership..

Now what????? Seller remorse is setting in big time. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

So Jeff,
Selling the Cardinal and going back to a pumped up 150??? That's what it sounds like. Good luck with everything.

Thanks...today I am not sure what I am going to do. Maybe just sit on it for a while...pricing tend to get a bit softer in the winter months and with the high fuel prices, maybe even a bit more. I get anxious thinking I should be looking for another bird (sorry Wayne and Ed...hoo boy), but thinking I need to at least wait for the buyer to pay up on the Card first...may not sell at all.

Kind of like winning the lottery, don't quit the job till the money is in the bank.

Jeff,

You have to remember you have done the right thing (for now).

Let me explain....

When making a decission to either "do" or, "not do" something, the decission you make at the time is the "correct one for that time" (otherwise you would not be making it). Looking back at that decission down the track and making comments like (gee, I wish I didn't do that, or similar) is counter productive and makes no difference to the where you are after the event. So, what you have to do is be happy for now, and that the decission you have made "is for now" and stay in the context of now - not 6 months, a year or whatever in the future.

Having said that, if you "feel any doubt" in doing what you are doing now - the correct action is, NOT TO DO IT, because that's what makes you look at your decision down the track and wish you had not gone through with it, and by then its TOOOOOOOOO LATE

Just my thoughts -

Good luck with your next purchace, my choice based on if I could afford it, would be a 150/150 or 180/150 Aerobat with a tailwheel conversion and as many bells and whistles I could possibly shove into the aircraft and still maintain a positive climb when required and a paintscheme to match

sorry about that just dreaming out loud

Cheers

Dreaming is kind of fun at times Matthew (and thanks for your encouragement). Found a newly completed 160 hp Glastar that looks pretty cool...(slap...slap..."wake up you dolt...it's more expensive than the one you are selling"...slap) <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

Okay, maybe a bit more patiences is in order. Anyway...who knows when and how I may re-enter...

GlaStar...a great airplane. Experimental is definitely the way to go Jeff. I have a bunch of friends who fly X aircraft. Now THERE's where common sense and sensible regulation still exists.
