RE: HOW FAR WILL YOU DRIVE?
Not far myself, like a fine wine I don't travel well. Then I factor in my milage and the price of gas. At $4.00 a gallon and 23 MPG any savings on a deal can go away fast.
I built a very nice CG Extra for a friend, all his gear and engine but I built and covered the plane as a gift for him, I bought the kit at a swap meet for $10.00. He drove from Oregon to Vegas to pick it up. Well, do the maiden and trim flights and pick it up. Way farther then I would have ever driven for one but he was a truck driver so time in a car was nothing to him at all.
