From: "stratobee" Well, just a little update. Initial listing sold to a preacher from Florida. He turned out to be a tire kicker with no money and we're still chasing him for the escrow fee's. Next time around it sold for a little more actually (seems like the twin market has at least turned a corner). Although they haven't paid all of it yet, at least more than half has arrived. This time it sold to some US based Russian who will fly it via Alaska to Siberia come next summer!! Poor old girl is pressed into service as a load hauler at her age - I'd hoped she'd get to relax a little in the twilight of her years, but no. Then again, planes should be flown. Just before sales concluded, the right hand fuel pump started leaking. Being the guy I am, I couldn't in good conscience sell her off in that state, so I sent it in for overhaul. Was an expensive little thing, but now it's done. I've flown the old girl about 30 mins every week just to keep her juices going, and everything works perfectly. It's very different than flying the Aerostar of course, but what a great little aircraft she is now as I come back to her. The other day I had a 27kts wind on the nose at takeoff, almost no gas and the damn thing almost flew straight up like a bat out of hell! Couldn't believe it. I was at 1000ft by the end of the rwy. I wish I could keep them both and just have her as my Sunday ride, but I just can't afford it. At least now I get to fly her once in awhile until they pay and pick her up, which I'm grateful for. Be a sad day when she flies of to Russia. -------- Adam Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=412131#412131 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message commander-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Commander-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/commander-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/commander-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
