Survey

[Bob McAloon]

Hello all,

    Bob, I assumed that these planes were just representative of the price ranges... as I mentioned, option 1, an IFR 172 would most closley match my needs for the immediate future but options 2 and 3 are within my price range. Are we considering these actual planes? 

Thanks, Bob McAloon

  Awesome job, Steve!

   

  I have a couple of suggestions.  In general, I would quote a specific number for each aircraft, not a range.  Here are my suggestions; (700-100-65) (800-110-70) (900-120-75). I suggest dropping the warning about complex endorsement and just say "Constant speed prop". 

   

  For the Cardinal I would add zero time engine and prop, new leather interior, several instruments refurbished. Very reputable shop.

   

  For the 1982  172  I would add some kind of a warning.  Private sale. Almost 10,000 hrs airframe time is very suspicious (about 386 hrs per year average - patrol or police or flight school ? Please also note that most of the avionics are obsolete, some are not even serviceable.  Northstar M3 GPS, for instance, is no longer updateable after 3/12/2009. The Argus 3000 moving Map is 1987 technology - it receives heading info from the aforementioned GPS - database is contained on permanent eproms and if updateable (I doubt it) can only be done by a technician ($$$).  We don't know what equipment actually works and what does not work.  Frankly, the price is very suspicious.  We should warn that a major avionics upgrade could be necessary. This is probably a pig with lipstick. We could spend $10,000 or more to bring it up to a useful standard

   

  For the Hawk XP - very low engine time (240) and prop time (24). Very reputable shop.

   

  If this becomes simply a beauty contest, the best pictures will win. This should be a money contest - see what people are willing to spend. I'm afraid that not everyone will evaluate each example fully.

   

  We have time to work on this as I want to wait for the holiday to be over to send it out.

   

  Bob
