It definitely needs a paint job. In the 1st picture, I thought the spinner was polished, but in the 4th picture it has poort paint.

wow. i'd be REAL careful if I was looking for a bird. The owner might want to be prepared for letting it considerably lower than $8500. The paint job itself would run in the vicinity of $8000. One good thing is that it's in a dry climate. Also, the interior seems really rough. I noticed a fuse missing and a big crack in the plastic. The crack isn't a deal breaker by any mean, but man.... it looks rough.

1727 hours since overhaul. not ideal breaker unto itself, but that has to be taken into account.

Project planes always... always... turn into a money pit.

Oh boy. Did I ever tell you about my $250 boat? Ten grand later I sold it for $3000.

I had one of those. $3500 to buy it, over$1000 to repair it. Used it twice. Then after it sat in my yard for almost 20 years I finally got rid of it a few months ago.
It only cost me $250 to have it towed away.

The paint on the Rat Rod is almost as nice as this one’s.

I'm torn between merely stating that I agree with my esteemed colleague, and swinging from the chandeliers shouting AMEN!!

Preach it, brother!
