  in this market i do not think it will sell so if i pass my medical next month i'm going to do a condition inspection on it and build my 10 hrs high performance time my DAR said i needed before i fly it. if i can settle all issues with lou i will fly it.
  may see you at sun-n-fun whether we have the plane or not.
