Still bringing in the south african plane. I will have two ikea projects.

[Rocky Roquemore]

Well i never got in. But i am buying a surprixpse meyers

[Rocky Roquemore]

I need a complete nose gear assembly. Anyone know where i can find one?

[Rocky Roquemore]

They seem to think it is worth a lot more than i do. Was told the owner turned down 90k.
Meyers i think should bring more than bonanzas, but seemingly they do not.

[Rocky Roquemore]

If i buy it i will flynit.
My bet is it will not bring reserve.
50,000 is my top which would be 53,000 with commission. Maybe go to 55 including vig.
The plane cosmetically is in nice shape.

Plane has apparently been sitting a long time.
But the owner recently spent a good bit of money on airworthiness items in preparation for sale.

[Rocky Roquemore]

There have been some field approvals for the 200. We plan to go that route.
Let me know if you plan to bid and i will back off.

[Rocky Roquemore]

Vref says 55,650. About what i am thinking.
It will likely bring more.

[Rocky Roquemore]

IA said paint very good, needs rubbing out.
Interior excellent
Engine seems good, compressions all good.
He gave plane a thumbs up.
Given engine time and avionics.
I thing 50k plus the vig is my choke point.
I have made a deal on Mike Hofmans plane from South Africa. I expect it here in Georgia before Christmas, if i were to buy 418 ,i would keep the better airframe and sell the other.
I have ordered dual G3x , gfc 500, 750, 650 remote ads-b in/out so ready to get upside down either way.
