So. Remember the Traveler I was trying to sell for $32,000?
That included a Power Flow Exhaust ($4,000), LoPresti nose bowl
($5,000), fresh paint ($8,000), and a newly overhauled LyCon engine with
ALL the trick stuff like =9CO=9D ringed case, new cylinders
(ported and polished), and lots of other stuff ($24,000). No takers.
So. I sold the Power Flow and dropped the price to $28,000.
So. That=99s is essentially a free plane with new paint for the
price of the LoPresti nose bowl and engine.
No takers.
So. I tried to sell the nose bowl.
No takers.
So. I tried to sell the engine several times. I thought I had it sold
for a while. The guy even has an engine with 2400+ hours on his O-320.
Even though this new O320 is a great deal and he won=99t have to
wait for a overhaul and he can be flying in a few days . . . . ???
No takers.
So. Thinking that maybe the project is too difficult for any wannabe
buyers, I thought I=99d put it partially back together and offer
it at progressively higher prices until it=99s flyable; then the
price will be for a finished plane with a fresh annual, all new
hardware.
So. The tail feathers are on; all new hardware. I even corrected the
slop in one elevator bolt by going 1/2 size larger on the bolt. It=99
ll be rigged by this weekend. It=99ll have new batteries in the
ELT. The elevator trim and all controls will be disassemble, lead,
inspected, lubed, and put back together. The tail cone will be
installed. The ELT covers installed. The annual inspection of the
empennage will be finished.
So. The asking price is currently $29,500. You finish the plane.
So. The next step is to take the interior apart, clean it up, remove
the side panels and fix them, put the seats back in, strip and repaint
the spar in situ.
Let me know if you=99re interested
Gary
