I've been there, and it's still not worth it. To this day, 2 years later, the plane remains where he didn't want me to go further "until he got some more money and had time to proceed." The engine, servos, covering stage, are all done,
only things that remains are attaching pushrods to the control horns, picking up 3" wheels, and getting the CG right so he can go fly, that's it! So close, yet so far far away.
I figured since he had everything else, the wheels and control horns wouldn't be "out of budget." I didn't charge him a dime. It actually bothered me more than him that it wasn't done and never had a maiden flight.
