proper pickling method, as it will be stored horizontally on the shipping
pallet.
Thanks, Dave

OK, so...a couple years ago, the allure of the Red Star aircraft caught my eye.
Last year, a ride in Herb C's 52TW @ AirVenture only served to poor raw fuel
on the growing fire. Now, the seduction is complete. I feel like I GOTTA get into
a Yak or CJ or I'm gonna freak out! My question is...I recently noticed an
ad for a CJ import that can be purchased "as is" or in airworthy condition. The
difference is substantial. How do the CJ's arrive and how much surgery do they
typically need to come to life? If I get into one, I'm looking at liquidationg
my projects to raise the necessary funds. (BT-13, PT-26, Stearman N2S-5 and
/ or C-150 - if you know of anyone looking for some rainy day hobbies!?) But
I'm not finding myself getting younger, richer or with anymore substantial free
time on my hands. I'd rather fly NOW than restore into my retirement and possibly
never fly. So, are these "as is" imports IRAN aircarft or does it become
a restoration in itself? Also, are either of the types more cost / maintenance-friendly
than the other? Thanks, guys! 'Hope to joing the fun someday...!
