A friend is having to move his toys to a new location. he has an "extra" airplane that he wants to sell instead of moving it.
It is a piper pacer project. He says that its about 95% all there. Looks like a previous owner cleaned and primed/painted the fuselage. I dont know how long ago it was painted--
dont know th equality it was done with. (if it was blasted ) I dont see any obvious problems with the tubing. (I could fix any if there were)
Its a whole airframe. he wants 2000$ for everything but the engine. Havnt looked at the wings yet. He says the motor is there-- a core of some kind--- a lyc-0290. he has taken a few
things off but basically in one piece. He has another pacer he is restoring and he was going to use the engine for spare parts.... but he said he might sell the core with it for 2500...
(dont know core condition yet. he says both have logs.
does this sound like a fairly good deal ? Call me a NUT--- but I dont mind the idea of building the BH AND restoring this thing at the same time ! The piper COULD go fairly fast.
My cousin has flown one like it and said it was a nice plane to fly and pretty fast. I see there are several nice STC's for them too.
Any feedback on this ? Also it is just across town--- so no 1000 mile treck to get it.
