Is this a trick question?
-1 is the smaller one, -2 is the norm these days. early early Lycs were dash-1 as was 65, 85, 90, and  O-200 Continentals

Hangar Flying / deals
« on: August 08, 2006, 06:58:54 AM »
A non refundable deposit is only non-refundable when the seller delivers as advertised (or implies). i.e. an airworthy airplane that could "legally" be flown away; current and legal inspections (the A&P admitted that the signoff was bogus), in compliance with applicable FAR's, and most important: a safe aircraft. If a deal was a deal, then lawyers would be out of business .  ... If you paid a deposit on a pair of shoes, and on arrival you found they were not wearable and were made of paper, then you were mislead; Unethical and illegal. Argue all you want, the seller was wrong.

Hangar Flying / 2000

comms was a reference to communications between pilot and passenger.
the starter wire in question merely activates a solenoid and carries little load; it very well could have been coax, lamp cord, or just a shielded wire, and worked just fine; up to standards? who knows?
some mechanics can be bought for a lot less than $40 and lunch.
interesting that someone in San Diego now wants to sign on and chime in, attempting to protect the seller. Where is the airplane now? Is it still being advertised for sale? under repair? out of sight of FAA inspectors?log-books?contrary to popular belief, there are old and bold pilots, and they are frequently similar to the picture painted of the seller. the buyer was low time and new to aviation; so what. I do not know, and have never met the buyer. I considered buying the airplane in question, and it is junk. the seller should not have kept the deposit, as he was in no way injured in the transaction. he could have refunded the deposit and sold it to the next sucker who came along instead of being branded with "crook" and left holding the now well known long-ez. "Where there's smoke ..."

Hangar Flying / Bible talk

His OWN Bible? Next thing you know he'll be flying his Long EZ into tall buildings. Just be thankful that he didn't do it with you in the backseat. I wonder where the airplane is now? I was considering looking at the aircraft, and now I think I would offer the value of a working used magneto and a serviceable used harness. Less what it would take to transport it of course ... so for a few thousand dollars (paid in advance to me) non-refundable deposit, I would take the aircraft and deliver it to Mojave where it could be cut up and placed in the dumpster.
