Way Up Here
I'm New Here
After a considerable amount of time spent lurking hither and yon in the forums, pawing through preview plans, excessive forays into builder sites and shameless bouts of YouTube watching, with the odd trip to Oshkosh thrown in...I have come to realize that at this point in my life I am a flyer and not a builder. As luck would have it, there seems to be a lot of people that have decided they are builders and not flyers. I have decided that it would be mutually beneficial for me to relieve one of these good people of their aircraft shortly after they relieve me of all this excess cash I have (hahaha). Anyhow, having never purchased an airplane, I need to ask ya'll some questions:
1. What would be a rough 'flowchart' of how to purchase an aircraft? I am aware of the need for a good pre-buy inspection...but where does insurance and paperwork and whatnot figure into the process?
2. Is it fair practice to ask if anybody on the forums is familiar with a particular aircraft?
3. Has anybody ever put together a "how to buy an experimental aircraft" guide?
4. What are the pitfalls that I might stumble into in the process of purchasing an RV?
5. Should I prime or not? (OK, that one was a joke....really.)
I know that is a lot of questions, so thanks in advance for taking the time to respond to one or all.
