Arrghhh!
« on: December 09, 2005, 02:06:58 AM »
So I get back on my feet, finally decide to leave computers, and get set to go back to college in '06 for an aviation program & my B.S. degree.  And right as I get around $15k saved up, a local plane like this comes on the market!!  *sigh*

Its especially frustrating since the costs of my flight-training and starting over in a new industry at age 30 mean that I'm probably going to be in debt, and 10 years away from affording my own plane once I do go back to school...    

Anyone think the fiberglass & other parts on these planes are good for another 20 years?   :roll:

Take care,

--Noel

Noel,

See my rant about this particular airplane on this forum.  You avoided a bum steer by not buying this airplane.  You would have spent much more $$$$ to actually make the airplane ready to fly.  Everything aft of the firewall was half-assed (at best), slipshod, and cheesy.  I wouldn't even have taxied it.
