Guest Kevmarquand Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 hello I really want to get into aviation but I havnt got a lot of money. so I am looking at building an aircraft and was wondering if anybody had any unfinished kits that they would be interested in selling or maybe an airframe or even an aircraft that has been damaged and need repairing. I am mainly looking for a two seater high wing. but I am up for anything if it Is a good price so if you have anything that could help me out. I will be very appreciative cheers kelvin
fly_tornado Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 plenty of stuff coming up cheap in the next few months, try gumtree or ebay
Downunder Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 Aircraft out on lake Eyre.......possibly going cheap.... 3
Guest Kevmarquand Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 yeah I have had a look on their but doesn't seam to be mutch right now
nickduncs84 Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 There is a kit zenith ch750 for sale in Bendigo. It's advertised for 30k which he probably won't get, but it is cheaper than what you would pay to get the same kit landed and probably close to the cheapest high wing 2 seat kit around. If 30k is still too much you may be able to get creative with it depending on the sellers story. He may want to fly but not have the time to build, so he may be open to exchanging a share for build time. It's a long shot, but you won't know until you call him. Or maybe you could find one or two others and buy and build the kit together... 1

bexrbetter Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 Hello. I really want to get into aviation but I haven't got a lot of money. What is your definition of "not a lot"?
ayavner Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 he'll have a new definition once he gets into aviation :-) 3

Marty_d Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 how about that 162 in the classifieds? I'm so tempted by that. What a deal for someone. 3
Guest Kevmarquand Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 thanks a lot guys for the help and interest. those who have sent me info on different planes don't think im ignoring you I will contact you soon the trouble is im very busy at the moment :(
rankamateur Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Choosing a plane is like doing your pre-fight checks, there is absolutely nothing to be gained by rushing, and you have more to lose than anyone else if you do. 3
Guest Kevmarquand Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 Choosing a plane is like doing your pre-fight checks, there is absolutely nothing to be gained by rushing, and you have more to lose than anyone else if you do. true. I iam currently thinking about building the stoll 701. but would like something a bit faster does anybody no of anything that is a high wing and reasonably quick something that would cruse at rough 100 knots if that's possible:oh yeah:
fly_tornado Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 sounds like you are in the market for a jabiru
bexrbetter Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 true. I iam currently thinking about building the stoll 701. but would like something a bit faster does anybody no of anything that is a high wing and reasonably quick something that would cruse at rough 100 knots if that's possible:oh yeah: You just went full circle back to the damaged 162. 1
fly_tornado Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 you can get a very nice tornado that will do 100knots on Jabiru 2200
rankamateur Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 true. I iam currently thinking about building the stoll 701. but would like something a bit faster does anybody no of anything that is a high wing and reasonably quick something that would cruse at rough 100 knots if that's possible:oh yeah: Before you start building a 701 talk to Derek Liston, on this forum, he did and may give you something more to think about. I am building my kit on the bench he built for his 701 build.
rankamateur Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 What is the stand for FT? Does that stop the tail falling off?
fly_tornado Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 no just to keep the oil leaking out of the engine
Guest Kevmarquand Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 You just went full circle back to the damaged 162. were would I find this aircraft?
bexrbetter Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 were would I find this aircraft? A blonde would look up. Others can go here ... http://www.recreationalflying.com/threads/damaged-cessna-162-for-sale.132841/#post-483951 This craft would also turn a profit at the end of your useage.
