<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>John,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>You are absolutely right. I'm biting my nails
every plane we ship. The major carriers are all risky and expensive.
If you have removeable stabs you have a shot (yet another reason for this), but
if not it might be worth cutting out the stab for shipping. Sounds
extreme, but for those of us that have remounted a stab or two, its really a low
risk job. More painful to start than finish.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN
class=120432501-04102005> That's good to know. How bad is it ($$$) to
ship something the size of an airplane? I could see it being pretty expensive
to go UPS, and I'd be a little bit worried about it arriving in one piece,
especially if it was during the Christmas rush. That seems to be when stuff
takes a severe beating. I had things arrive with tire tracks on them. Luckily
they were insured.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN
class=990300701-04102005> Here's an idea. We have a section on the
NSRCA web-site for beginners. Maybe that would be a good place to put some
links / pictures of all of these nice used airplanes that still have a lot
of life left in them. I'd have to agree about the shipping problem though.
It's definitely a major factor that affects the sale. I've seen some
things that I would probably have bought, but when I factored in the
shipping cost, I told the owner to try to sell it locally first. I've
heard of people shipping airplanes using Greyhound. Has anyone had success
with this method? </SPAN></FONT></DIV>

Re: For Sale Suggestions<BR><BR></DIV></FONT>
<DIV>I've sold my fair share of pattern planes. The older ones (Like a
Finess or Dr Jekyll) sold for pretty much the cost of the original
kit. I think it gets better if your a builder with an established
name. But a used plane is just that. Your asking the person to take a
risk that you sheeted the wing correctly, have the stab located right,
etc etc. If someone doesn't know your quality of building, they are just
not going to pay much. </DIV>
