Holy Spaghetti... Scary stuff.
After buying a used jet once on only photos... I hope I can stick to my own advice and never do it again unless I know the builder and owner well or I see it in person first. Only then can we know what we are stepping into. I even hesitate to sell my planes on photos only. Since I am picky I don't want others to be disappointed in something I over looked potentially.
My own good advice goes out the window if the plane is one I have wanted and can't otherwise easily get or some other reason like that. Then I have to know it's essentially a re-install and repair. Those can still be great aircraft it's just they aren't going to come easy - the piper gets paid somewhere down the line.
