FYI,
I see 2 337s on ebay for sale and one O2. None of them are really burning up the bidding right now. Kinda sad to see, such a good airframe being beaten up by things outside of its control. One of the 337s is a 79 with 11K hours on it. The family has been trying to sell this plane for quite some time on e-bay. I don't think any of them have exceeded the reserve price as yet.
As far as my plane is concerned, I know several people have spoken of this before but I really wonder if going experimental might be the way to go. I know there are some who say that you are compromising safety, but I don't exactly see it that way. If safety was really a concern then we would have many more homebuilt experimentals falling out of the sky and we don't. I know that bringing it back into type certified would be difficult afterwards but still possible. As far as it ruining the resale, we as my comments above show, they really aren't burning up e-bay right now anyway. Besides, all I want my plane for it to be able to fly VMC/IMC to anywhere in the US. That would be my only concern....what exactly are the limitations they place on an aircraft in experimental category? Thoughts? KD
