Yeah, I saw that. It's a nice plane, but I'd honestly rather have a 35% than a 40% and plus I don't know how I'd get it from him.

Also, I'm in graduate school so something that's a little beaten up that needs to be overhauled is more attractive. Yes, I have to work on it, but then I can recover it and make it somewhat my own. Plus I can get it for cheaper going that route. I think SleepC is asking a very fair price, but I'd honestly rather have something that needs to be recovered and repainted. It's kind of hard to justify spending a bunch of money on a well maintained airframe when I can get A) a used one that needs some work or B) the H9 33% CAP for $800 new. Plus I wouldn't want to do anything to SleepC's CAP because I like the way it is now and that takes of part of the fun lol.
