Looking for an airplane..

Here you go Jesse 1973 Beech B19

Nice looking bird. Seems like a good value at $26k, with 2 year old paint and low time...and not having an oddball engine (IO-346) like some of the older Musketeers. I don't think you could find an equivalent C-172 for that price...

Wow, 200 mph on 100 HP? Sign me up!

Found this on Wikipedia on the Sonerai:

The Sonerai is a small, VW powered homebuilt aircraft designed by John Monnett in the early 1970s. The Sonerai began as a single seat mid-wing Formula-V racer.

I thought I remembered his glider design, too:

You might find a decent Thorpe T-18 in your price range.

Nope.

Thanks, Matt. On that note, did you ever fly the Monerai, or that BG-12 of yours?

Tom Kerns, the ambassador listed for MN is a pretty good friend of mine. His T-18 is faster than most yet has the smaller of available engine choices.

Yea, that's about all my Fly Baby needed too and it took me a long time and lots of dollars to get it together. Worth every penny though

This one could be FUN, Jesse. $20,900, or make offer.

This one was already flying though, Totally different than starting a FFW from scratch.

Mine was already flying too! Hadn't flown for a few years but the engine started right up. Ended up pulling it for overhaul anyway due to some screwed up stuff. Re-installing alone took weeks. The details are killer. Granted we upgraded a lot of little things to a higher standard
