Thank you for your apology, I appreciate it. Yes! This is mainly my fault, of course. I didn't pay close attention and missed a number of serious parties (who mainly contacted me via DM). For whatever reason MS didn't send me all notifications, but I still didn't check back in frequently enough. Once I realized my mistake, I have kept this tab open and check back in regularly now as I'm tired of having this thing! Thanks

oh wow, ok that's horrible. Sorry. I did receive your text, but as I told you, I live out past good cell phone coverage and am on Starlink, so cell service is questionable at best. I've posted the invoice, and for others, I've provided the full details, but you simply ask straight away, "How about $3500" which is understandable, but seems sketchy to me. Fair enough, that it's an open forum, so you can say anything you want, but just because you don't know me, doesn't make me fishy at all. Nothing I could do would prove anything for you anyway, so I'm not sure how we would do business unless you flew here or I flew there in any case. Wish the brokerage had worked, but it didn't, unfortunately, because I used my corporate registration and the brokerage never stopped asking for more and more documentation, which as some point made me just give up. My mistake, i should have simply made a personal account. Lesson learned. My hope, is that there is someone located in the Southeast who i interested and for whom this is an easy transaction (and a great deal) at $4500.

1. I'm not (completely) 'random', as I'm known by several here personally. 2. I completely understand your sentiment. I can accept cash today and tomorrow (Sunday) only, as I am under pressure to make this transaction happen ASAP. I would expect a wire or ach to be done by someone local, who can meet me in person, see the 275 and take delivery of say half until the wire/ach cleared. Takes 24 hours for an ach, but only during the week. Which is why I'm asking for cash if this happens on a weekend. 3. I don't have paypal for political reasons, but I'm open to other options, if you're wanting to try something else. Thanks - also, DM'd you

Indeed. I had so many hassles with their verification process because I signed up with a company account, rather than my person. First, they said my ID would be sufficient, but then they switched and said they needed corporate documents, which I provided. In the end, I couldn't give a "photo id" for my company, as no such thing exists, and I was left in limbo. I apologize @jrod_stat, I assumed, incorrectly, that the process would be something like paypal, with some checkboxes ("I sent the thing", "I received the thing"). Unfortunately, I assumed incorrectly. After that, I realized I'll just stick with cash, in person instead. I don't log on here very often, and have had a number of other things going on in my life. The kit is still for sale, if anyone is in the Central Florida Area, or knows a better/easier way to handle shipping with security.

@Sue Bon Your avatar shows a great sectional livery on a tail, is that your plane? I love the livery! Also, is it a wrap, or paint? -

My experience was that it cost me about 2x as much to own/operate in EU as it does in US. Regarding ACG Air-Craft, I realize that there is only one drawback that I could think of (reverting to previous topic): If they work on your plane for a while, it will sit outside in the damp German weather. My plane sat out for a very long time, with no chance to be hangared because the local hangar was full at that time. The service is great, I appreciate how they operate and they let me participate, but my plane experienced some heavy weathering due to Germany's humid/rainy climate. -

True! I guess the easiest way to put this, is that there are no charges for IFR flights in the US. No landing fees either, unless you're using jet-level services. On a typical cross-country flight (Coast to Coast), I'll plan on about $100 for parking fees and facilities costs. The rest goes to fuel + lodging + meals. I can fuel up at any time, arrive at any time and leave at any time from nearly any airport here. Not so in Europe... remember operating hours PPR, Customs, local flight patterns, etc. Brutal flight planning involved. Again, I agree, it is worth it. Especially, when flying to places like Vannes, Croatia, or any cool area in Europe (there are so many!). -

IIRC, it was over $100 for the stickers. (obviously just printed stickers, nothing fancy...) It may have been more... tbh, the memory was bad enough that I don't want to go back and look ;P
