Well Scott, any buyers ??? It's been awhile since I checked in here, did you have any offers on your little beauty ?

Yes, the airplane sold quickly at close to the asking price...this was actually in October of 2019 so it's been a while. I miss not having that airplane in a hangar at the airport...but I don't miss some of the time and $$$ involved in keeping it there. The airplane has a good home with a good owner who loves to fly it.
