Hi Mill,
The price I want for the plane is $4,250.00 as listed. The plane is in perfect condition, newly built and ready to fly with all the top-of-the-line parts, accessories and craftsmanship. I can supply references upon request. I've built and sold several planes, and have built for hire.
I will not ship the plane. It is one-of-a-kind, to big, nice and expensive to risk shipping.
