Could it be?? You'd think he'd at least fly it once. Or watch it fly.
What's the story here Juan?


358 lbs. Pretty Good. Is that "ready to fly"? I.E. a Basic Operating
Weight?


Yes. I dropped 80 lbs thanks to a model Microturbo that doesn't have a
starter/generator, and only requires 11psi fuel pressure, vs 200 psi for the
TRS-18.

The ONLY way he will ever sell it is IF he can find a bigger fool than
himself to buy it. I am not sure that would be possible but in a world
full of fools...who knows?

$120,000 for that death trap...wow! I might see a $120 to use it as a
sign for a local hamburger joint called AIRWAYS.

They'd arrest whomever used it for littering and running an
unlicensed toxic waste dump.

I just want to know why he doesn't fly it, or at least watch it fly. I have
nothing against the guy, I don't know him and I'm not going to judge by who
he calls a friend. It just seems that he's put in a lot of effort here, I'd
want to see it fly.

I wonder how many aircraft are built and never flown by the builder.
I can understand building for the fun of it then selling, but I venture
to say there are some that the builder is afraid to fly. This is
assuming the aircraft passes inspection in the first place.

But how much time did he put into it? From the description it looks
like he bought a partially finished kit in Australia.

I think he is probably scared of it. I would be.

And I have to disagree with you. Who one chooses as friends is an excellent
judge of one's character. It bay even be the best way.
