Re: Aeronca 11AC Chief Project FS

Jim ...

In the first place, this thread belongs in rec.aviation.marketplace.  It
is 
NOT a homebuilt and it is off-topic.  I didn't say anything about that.

In the second place, this fellow has a history of abusing this newsgroup 
trying to peddle sows' ears at silk purse prices.  An 11AC with a possible

busted spar isn't a bargain at giveaway prices, much less the asking
price.

So, we have to come up with an engine, some more welding (or re-welding, 
depending as you say on the quality, and a question in the back of my mind

as to how the "90% complete" number came to be and why the last 10% hasn't

been done), either a lot of woodwork or a hell of a lot of woodwork 
depending, struts, and a complete fabric cover.  Plus a lot of bits and 
pieces to hold it all together.  Would'ja say, roughly, $15k in work? 
That's my best estimate, figuring that the spar is a 50-50 proposition. 
Somewhere between $12 and $18?
