 |

Hey folks (if there are any out there - this is a seriously quiet list!):
I'm tossing around the idea of purchasing and restoring a sailplane for a
"project" - but I know relatively nothing about that market except what I
read (I should mention that I'm an A&P/IA.)
I'm not interested in newer composite aircraft - I'm thinking more like a
"classic" Schweizer. I've been leaning towards one of the variations of the
1-26, as they seem to be in reasonable supply and reasonably priced.
However, I'm open to suggestions!
Bottom line - can anyone suggest additional internet sources for looking for
an aircraft? So far, I know about the SSA classifieds, I've been keeping an
eye on the "Yellow Bible", and I've been eyeing the 1-26 site, but mostly
what's selling are flyable aircraft. What I'm looking for is a "project"...
and a budget :^) I plan to spend the money on the rebuild, not the original
purchase.
Regards,
Richard T. Perry perryrt(at)hotmail.com
