 |
|
If you are lurking here and want a fine plane, check out my E-LSA Firstar II that is for sale. I listed it on barnstormer.com tonight. I flew it today and it flies great but I need some room. I bought a Citabria last week and my wife suggested that a few things should go.
http://www.barnstormers.com/listing.php?id=251414
I also have an enclosed trailer for this plane and a 2000 40' American Eagle motor home to pull it with! They are both for sale too.
If you know someone who would like a really nice Firestar, point them my way. Thanks.
Jim

A few notes about the trailer have been sent my way... pictures speak a 1000 words so here is to saving some long dialog.

The trailer is "extra". I am selling the trailer for $4000 by itself. You can have the package for $14K. Heck of a deal.
Now as far as a trailer, is it over done for the payload, but it pulls straight and the bird is secure inside. it has been raining cats and dogs here but the unit is dry inside, I went out and measured it up for a fellow.
It is 5'10" x 23'10" inside.
On your comment about getting out after a year ...... and losing money. I wish I was able to net out even $4$ for what I stick into my my past hobbies. I have raced cars, motorcycles, sailboats. Been into classic cars and street rods. Beer, wine, whiskey. Girls. Computers, Audio Video. ........... None made me any money.
I have been "plane crazy" since I was 6 and expect that I will continue to buy planes. I may build another, but right now I have more $ than time. The time things gets int he way of flying and I can only fly one at a time and I have 3 planes today. They do not do well if not flown regularly. So my little bird is leaving the nest. I never expect to get even $ wise on planes, but I continue to enjoy flying, it is great therapy, and it is cheaper than psychoanalysis.
I like the FS, it was a lot of fun flying it last night. But I want to do some traveling like some of the fellow Kolbers and I am not up to it in the FS at this time. So, I bought a factory made plane. I don't really want to sell the FS but I know it will become a hanger queen and that would be wrong.
If she does not sell, that may be OK too, that may be how it is suppose to work out.

Russ, he posted a pic of his new citabria. A mighty sturdy ride, one
you feel secure in whilst
doing unnatural maneouvers.
