Hee Hee,
I made him an offer as well, because I knew I could fix it. But for
someone having to pay for it to be done they would have to have a lot of
cash in the old wallet! Ya know I never could get him to give me a stright
answer about a prop strike. And you are very correct, only a fool would have
given that much money for a badly damaged plane. You can find nice project
planes that need a whole lot less in the 3-6 G range. If I could find one
the owner would carry a note on I'd be in high cotton!

Was the plane you were talking about the one that was for sale in GA
for awhile, white with blue trim if I remember correct. Think he wanted 8
grand for it, don't know what he actually got for it. The vertical had a
"nice" crush going on. OUCH!

Yep. He put it on ebay and some fool bought it for $9000! We offered him
$1200. There were some structural issues. A good metalsmith will be able
to bring it back.
