Piper Malibu project?

[RyanB]

just how much cashola would it take to get something like this in the air?

 

[midwestpa24]

More than its worth

 

[Arm3]

At least it comes with an airworthiness certificate.

I believe the wings and engine would prove to be some of the most expensive parts.

Fun project for a fledgling A&P?

"My $100k Ghetto Malibu"?

 

[Dave Theisen]

All of it..................and you might still not be in the air.

 

[Ted]

A lot.

A more useful and more affordable project would be an old Twin for $15-20k and working on it.

 

[cowman]

10% more than an airworthy one.

It's already on a dolly so quite cheap to roll outside onto the ramp. Maybe pay a couple of guys $20.00 to do that.
Then hire a helicopter to sling it.

I figure you could get something like this in the air for, oh, maybe $3000.00

 

[James331]

Arnt those insanely expensive to just keep in the air, even when they come in one piece?

We ain’t talking a PA18 here

 

[Zeldman]

Did someone park that plane on the wrong side of the airport.??

Maybe I should buy it and use it for yard art.

Treehouse! Find a way to secure it up in a tree, then dangle a rope ladder down from the main cabin door. No girls allowed!

 

[jsstevens]

Nice paint...

 

[Kenny Phillips]

I'd put it in my basement, and install my flight simulator stuff in it.

Sounded like a good idea until you made that last statement...

It it was free, I might consider mating it to a small truck chassis and making a Malibu Cruiser.

Chevrolet might not like that idea.

It would probably have a strong resemblance to the Weiner Mobile. Maybe a Mexican restaurant could spin it as a Burrito Bus.

You beat me to the joke! I was going to suggest building a trebuchet...
