I understand that. The thing is, it's not like I'm trying to decide between several similar Skybolt-like types. The airplane I really want looks nothing like a Skybolt. I'll eventually own what I want but, for now, I can't afford it. I can, however, afford this share of a Skybolt. It promises to be a lot of fun to fly, inexpensive to own, push my limits and teach me a few things. Well, it sounds as if you're approaching the whole thing with a very sensible attitude. Instead of the plane which is "Miss Right" so to speak, enjoy "Miss Right-now"? OTOH...I don't know what you really want, but, are you sure you couldn't afford it, in a group situation or partnership? I've gone so far as searching out nearby owners in Landings, reverse lookup-ing phone numbers and calling...occasionally someone is grumpy but usually people looooove to talk about their planes. (FTR, when we started shopping for a plane, I wanted a Stinson 108-3, DH wanted a Mooney, and we wound up with a Grumman Tiger which IMHO was a much better "fit" for the flying we actually do than either of our "dream planes" would have been) BUT: I'm still not buying it unless all the details check out. Right now, a few red flags are going off which make me thing it's more likely that I won't be buying it. Again, sounds like you're approaching it from an eminently sensible perspective. Followup-To set to rec.aviation.owning. Google still flagged rah as well, but I'll just send this to rao then. Good luck, Boris, please keep us posted on the whole experience -- I'm sure + or - the group would like to hear. Best, Sydney |

Google still flagged rah as well, but I'll just send this to rao then. Hmm, Google doesn't seem to respect the Followup-To header. I was just thinking that threads in RAH tend to spontaneously combust, so I'd rather keep this out of there while it's not strictly on topic. Anyway, I heard back from the insurance company. It was pretty good news - the insurance would only go up $100 if I replace one of the existing three partners (from $2070 to $2170). I guess it's already on the high side but it's definitely bearable split three ways. They also require 3 hours of dual before solo, then 2 hours solo before I can carry passengers. I think they are out of their minds. My instructor tells me I'd need about 15 hours of dual, which sounds a lot more reasonable. Boris |
