you could fly the AT-6 with its fixed gear
until you could get some retracts... While this might be an option, I'd prefer it to come with electric retracts
There’s a DL 50 for sale on FG for $150 shipped... would be perfect for the AT-6....another option, but more money out of my pocket. It could come with an engine and be closer to the value of my plane.
Could add the Shoestring and you could sell it for AT-6 parts...!! No interest in the Shoestring at any price, sorry.
Some things that spark my interest and are closer in value to what I have to sell (a 37% biplane): 50cc Edge airframe. 50cc Patty Wagstaff airframe. 50cc Ultimate airframe. 50cc war bird of some type. 50cc Art Scholl Super Chipmunk. and possible others if I gave it more thought.
Thanks.
