My coupe in FSX:


unfortunitly it is no more, was totaled in a crash after I had gotten out of it.

I had asked my dad,to buy me one,he said " SON,YOU"LL KILL YER SELF"...so I had to settle for a LIONEL ELECTRIC TRAIN SET. it was a bit steep that plane, selling at $ 2,994... Train set??$49.Bucks...Expensive also!No Credit Card then!!..

Just a BUMP so it doesn't get to lost.

2994$, a little more than I payed for my used motorcycle two years ago... Well, money is changing.

Looks like a nice project, too, even though I can´t find the beauty in that aircraft...

When my partner's and I bought ours back around 1980 /81 we paid $9000.00 for it, it was out of a fresh annual, had new paint and not a lot of hours on the engine.
Saw one advertised just a week or so ago for $20,000.00!

Admittedly, it is a very dated airframe and it doesn't have all the bells and whistles that even the smallest aircraft do these days, but I'm guessing that in it's time, the beauty in part, was due to the availability to a wide audience (because of price) and the simplicity. A relatively easy airplane to fly and very forgiving. These days though, the beauty is in it's longevity and popularity among other things, at least that's my opinion.
