Thanks, Dave ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 08:48:04 PM PST US From: "Rico Jaeger" Subject: Yak-List: Advice / Info 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!
