That airplane's damn near ready to fly! I don't know what you paid, but likely it's a great bargain. If there is little corrosion, then 300 hrs is 300 hrs. How many annuals do you suppose it's had? Six or seven? My airplane dreams of only being taken part that many times. Long term there are age related issues mostly with rubber and plastic, but still a great value IMO assuming it was acquired cheap.

Cheap is the only way that Alan acquires anything!

If you sell it log less as a rebuild project, then the logs dont really matter do they?

Logs are a bargaining chip in my opinion, this bird will most likely be gone through with a fine tooth comb and the logs reconstructed. Everyone seems to freak out when logs are missing, my logs where complete and I still verified the books weren't just pencil whipped, if there was any major damaged repaired and not logged someone did a good job of repairing it
