1) Things to inspect look closely at. AD's I need to be
aware of, etc.

There is one. Hasn't it been discussed here recently under another
Champ thread?

3) What insurance will cost.

More than last year

4) What are they selling for?

I recently had to kick up the hull insurance on my renter's policy
from $25K to $40K. The airport rents a pair of weary old 172s and two
nice J-3/L-4 Cubs. In the five years I've had my license, Cubs have
gone from the low 20s to the high 30s. I assume a Champ would be less,
but so much depends on condition. I've read so much stuff about the
horrors entailed in buying a 60-year-old plane that I would feel safe
only if a) I was buying a project for rebuild or b) I was buying it
new. (You can buy a Champ new, I believe.)
