Title: Arrghhh!
Post by: NWade 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,
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.
