OK, it's official. I listed Vamoose on Barnstormers today.
I listed the plane itself for $12,500.00, with no engine or reduction drive. This price includes the gull wing doors, tall spring steel landing gear, heavy duty tapered roller wheel bearings, 8:00 tires, Narco aircraft radio, transponder and altitude encoder.
The engine is listed separately for $2500.00, and is a 2110cc high performance VW with electronic wasted spark ignition and computer controlled fuel injection. To the best of my knowledge, the engine is great, and started every time I hit the ignition. Engine price includes Warp Drive 3 bladed 72" prop, My problems were with the reduction drive, that now lives at the Palm Springs city dump.
The engine is mounted and I would prefer to sell it with the plane, but if necessary I could separate them.
I also have an enclosed trailer for it that needs a little work on the modified front end, and have listed the trailer for $2500.00.
A complete description of Vamoose is online at:
http://www.biglar.homestead.com/BUILDINGVAMOOSE.html
A combination of factors brought this about. The primary one is that I've just lost interest, and not just in Vamoose. In the first 6 years that I had my pilot's license, I flew over 300 hours in rental planes. In the last 5 years, just 30 hours. The flightseeing tour at Bella Coola, B.C. this summer got me jazzed for a bit, but it fell flat again.
Second, I've just accepted a position as Director of Engineering at a luxury hotel in Santa Fe, NM and 1) I'm not going to have much, if any, time for hobbies for quite a while, and 2) I'm just not up for dragging it along and trying to find a place to store it, let alone work on it.
I don't really think that awful redrive was much of a factor, tho' it surely did p..... me off big time. That's mechanical and was poorly designed from the get go, and I think I gave it a helluva go. I'm very thankful it caused its' problems on the ground.
I still enjoy the Kolb List and my many friends here, and figure on keeping on with it, Vamoose or no. Lar.

Thanks, Chris. I'll still be around. The Kolb List has been a great source of entertainment for me over the past 8 years and I've made many friends here. I hope it sells soon - I'm leaving in 3 weeks. Lar.

What a shock!, But I know where you are coming from. I had felt that way about some of my Kolbs and didn't even have the problems that you have had.
I was proud that you were able to squeeze into My Firestar II and experience the thrill of low and slow flight along with seeing lots of wild life.
Hope to see you in MV next year and I might be able to see you in Santa Fe sometime.

Yes, everyone is having that problem. Pat, I guess, is just the strong, silent type. Maybe he's a John Wayne fan?

Can't hardly believe it myself, George, but it's time. I did enjoy the ride in your little plane, and I squoze into the back of Larry Cottrell's FS II, too, and we saw game on both trips, and I got cramps on both trips, too. That's OK. They were fun flights. Lar. Do not Archive.

Sorry to add to your already overwhelming frustration, Pat.

I figure at least one time in our life, we've all been where Larry is right now (unless you were born with a silver spoon in your mouth), it hurts at the moment, but my experience has been that something better is usually just around the corner...
Warning, this theory doesn't always work when it comes to women!... Don't ask how I know...
