Yeah, I just offered him 30k so if that was his original thought then maybe he'll take it. It is based on us getting it flying to ferry to my airport though as I can't afford to be the one with an airplane stuck in AL. His strip is only 30' wide and 2900' or so. He's a nice guy and seems to be pretty smart about airplanes in general. It was fun talking to him as he's been around and done quite a bit of stuff. Most of his claims about the airplane itself were wrong though. I don't think he purposely was trying to mislead but just didn't realize how much time has passed.
