If he turns it into a piece of junk, that is his problem. If he makes a show piece out of it, well good for him. Let’s do what we can to steer him in the right direction. I am NOT down on this guy. I am just very concerned that a new guy to aviation is blind to his own naivete due to his admirable zeal. If he turns it into a pile of junk is EXACTLY my concern, and fear for him. I absolutely want to steer a new participant in aviation in the right direction. I just can't see someone brand new to aviation, without even a PPL, pursing fixing THIS airplane as a smart move. He's excited and wants his own plane...I get that. The problem is purchasing THIS plane is VERY likely to end in disaster and sour a new member to GA. I don't want that to happen. I say, get his PPL. Rent and fly a bit before diving into ownership; especially a 'project' plane. Sorry, but fixing up a plane is NOT the same as refurbishing a land vehicle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niko182 Posted April 10, 2021 Report Share Posted April 10, 2021 Am I missing something. Last flown in 2011 but last annual in 2005? Talk about red flags. I think its a good rule of thumb to check the owner out as much as the plane, and that seems like a pretty big red flag. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
