Get two of those red flashlights, have a friend drop you off near the airport at night and then walk backward toward your house.

Honestly, I'm not sure what my budget is either, but I'm pretty sure that 15k is out of bounds,
Thanks anyway!
Still looking........
I'm still betting that my hypothetical best deal will be a private one and involve chainsaws and machete's!

Jeff is one weird and awesome guy!
No that was the road race amphibious helicopter! Totally different.
FM, throw up some creativity?
Years ago people would darn near give away Beech 18s. Seems they have a spar issue that grounds them.

That would be a LOT of cool airplane.
Heck I would probably be in one of those as much as the boys, haha.
Maybe one of these has something for you.

Thanks Adam, you betcha on the pics, probably a whole build thread.
Just don't be in a hurry... I've been looking for a while. Maybe I'm too picky, but I'm sure these tips will help.
Stay tuned!?!?!
I know of a piper Aztec fuselage and wings that could be had cheap but it's in Michigan
In reply to pilotbraden :
That's a large airplane. It could be a great candidate.
I'd be interested to know more...
Hell, I kind of want it. No idea what to do with it.

I will reach out to a few folks down your way that may have items of interest as well. I know your trailer will be able to handle the weight.

I used to belong to the EAA, They always had good deals in the back of their Magazine.
It is always a slippery slope looking at half finished projects that can be had for pennies on the dollar.
I flipped a lot of planes in High School.

Was it this one?
My Dad and I bought it so we could get our twin rating. It was cheaper than renting a plane. We kept it at Pontiac airport then sold it to a guy that was going to use it as a Bank Delivery plane. After flying with him on the test flight I figured he was going to lawn dart it when his heart gave out fro all the coke and speed he took.
In reply to MulletTruck :
No it's not that one my friend drove down south to Arkansas or Alabama I can't remember he trailered it home. He bought it from an estate. the fellow that owned it had not flown it in 10 years but kept the maintenance up to date but his wife had lost the log books so there is no proof of any maintenance. My buddy bought it for the engines he's building a Vans RV-10

I can neither confirm nor deny that the learning curve was steep teaching myself to fly old crop dusters in the bush of Northern Canada.lol
