Over $12600 US but less than $21000 would be my guess.

NICE :cool: bet it'll take a lot of maintenance though but I'm up for the challenge. Gotta start reading up on some of the terms though (I know how to fly and work the plane....I just don't know what part is better than the other, i.e. which radio company is best etc. some of these ebay ads are talking about diff types of radio, engine, etc.)

I think the engine is more important than the radio. ;)

nah, radio is kind of important, if you get on radar of a air base, then they will shoot you down, if you cannot make contact...

Ya I know lol, I just pointed out things like engine and radio to show that I gotta read up on these things so the buyer doesnt trick me :pinch:

I don't think questions like "how may rpm does the radio run at" is going to fool anyone. :dabs:

I thought you were the buyer. Are you planning on tricking yourself? :lol:

I would recommend that you get someone with extensive experience to assist you in this sort of purchase.
