I answered this question from Michael Gross, "what parts are you selling and what price?  Scratch built I am assuming?"

as follows:

"No - it's kit parts. I have completed the rudder, horizontal stab and elevators, w/trim tab, and I have one wing skeleton laid out on my bench. Structural parts for the other wing are under the bench, and the skins are still in the shipping crate. I also have the materials for the flaperons, slats, composite wing tips, fuel tanks.

Whatever the factory price is for all of this, plus the drawings (and I guess I sell the serial number also, right?), I'll let go at 50%. Some very airplane-specific tools (like the pneumatic rivet puller) can also go with the parts."

I might be in PA this weekend...send me an email at gross_michael@Hotmail.com  I would be available Monday 12 May to take a look at your project if it is still for sale.

Let's just say that I extrapolated my completion date based on past progress, and it exceeded my statistical life expectancy.

Building IS a learning experience, and I learned that I am not the kind of builder that building a plane needs. I would love to HAVE a 701, though. And this is nothing against the drawings, the kit, the assembly book, or the factory - it's just me, and my recognizing my native inclinations.

I haven't worked on planes since the 80's. Wonder if I still can!!

Are you interested in selling just part of what you have or does it need to be everything. Also where are you located.

I am near Philadelphia PA.

I guess the answer depends on what you are looking for. Group 1: the rudder and tail feathers are completed and stored in my garage attic, and out of the way. Group 2: the parts for the wings and flaperons and slats are mostly untouched, except for the spar and ribs for the right wing. I also have the fuel tanks, wing tips, and lights that I would have built in with the wing.

I would not want to part it out any finer than that.
