I've lost the use of my commuter spam piper. Renting is not a good option. I'm wrapping up wings, QB fuse, low time o-320 enroute for a 9a (i.e. 32k invested thus far with another 30k to go). Still ATLEAST 6mos out with intense time invested to get the plane close to flying. I'm also getting itchy to fly on a regular basis again.
It's 10 hours round trip to drive home for the weekend, it's 4 hours in a spam can, it's about 3 hours with RV speeds.
I 'could' invest in a 30k ish spam/RV (RV4?), knowing it will extend the build time.
Save the money- more car time- less work time- less build time- less weekend visits
Spend the cash- happier wife- slightly slower build- less available cash to build- hope to recoup most cash and sell commuter plane as RV9a wraps.
What's the 'been there' and .02$ from the peanut gallery- opinions and creative options welcome.
