He is working on reskinning the outside third of the left wing as we speak. It makes me SO mad to have to pay to have this stuff fixed when I could do it myself if I knew an A&P well. Glad I have 2 partners because this C150 is getting really expensive!!!! (of course, if I was doing the work it probably wouldn't get done for years!!!!). Ken Powell Bryant, Arkansas 501-847-4721 -------------- Original message -------------- Greetings, I think the Bellsouth email is working now, so let's see. I'm still trying to decide what to do in the long term for all these dang planes that I have laying around. One of the things I have to consider is the possibility of selling the RV-3 later this year, when I get the Kolb flying. I just can't decided if there's any market for a rotary powered RV-3 though. I'm guessing that my plane would sell for $25K-$30K with a reasonably fresh 160 Lycoming in it. I wonder how much the rotary engine would affect that price? I'm guessing that it would just be a matter of finding the right buyer, which could take a while. Don't know that I'd be in any hurry though. Again, just thinking about the options. Hey Ken P, did you ever get your technically un-airworthy Cessna home?

Hi Rusty,
The IA working on the airplane got the landing gear fixed last Friday; the bulkhead that was needed was $600 and required much disassembly to install.  He is working on reskinning the outside third of the left wing as we speak.  It makes me SO mad to have to pay to have this stuff fixed when I could do it myself if I knew an A&P well.  Glad I have 2 partners because this C150 is getting really expensive!!!!  (of course, if I was doing the work it probably wouldn't get done for years!!!!).

Greetings,
 
I think the Bellsouth email is working now, so let's see.  
 
I'm still trying to decide what to do in the long term for all these dang planes that I have laying around.  One of the things I have to consider is the possibility of selling the RV-3 later this year, when I get the Kolb flying.   I just can't decided if there's any market for a rotary powered RV-3 though.  I'm guessing that my plane would sell for $25K-$30K with a reasonably fresh 160 Lycoming in it.   I wonder  how much the rotary engine would affect that price?  I'm guessing that it would just be a matter of finding the right buyer, which could take a while.  Don't know that I'd be in any hurry though.
 
Again, just thinking about the options.   Hey Ken P, did you ever get your technically un-airworthy Cessna home?
