Hi guys/gals,
Several recent posts prompted me to write this since I have a couple of friends who built a -6 several years ago for a little over $30,000 and flying!
They bought a runout 0-320 with around 1950 TT on it and built it unpainted, day VFR. It flew for years before they needed engine work and then did it themselves. The airplane was sold but still flies often (fast, too!). Obviously it was a slow build.
I'm curious as to what the lowest cost 6, 6A or 7, 7A might be and how you managed to keep it low. With all the expensive Subes and high-priced new Lys, glass panels and autopilots, is there anybody who still abides by KISS??![Cool :cool: :cool:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
