Yes, $175 would be a great deal for that airplane. We all like to collect for sure. I see airplanes at great prices and give it a minute or two to realize that I already have more then I can fly in a week. The last two I bought had the engines stuck and needed a good cleaning. The last one was a World Models Midget Mustang with an OS .61 FX and full complement of Futaba 3003 servos. I cleaned it up, replaced the bearings in the engine and replaced the wheel pants. While cleaning my shop I assembled a box full of goodies and posted on a local club's Facebook page that the first guy who shows up gets the box full of goodies and a 54" Cessna 195 short kit ( no plans ). The guy who showed had just beat cancer and is determined to enjoy the life he has left. He took one look at the Mustang and had to have it. He got it for what I had invested into it which was $150. After hearing his story I wasn't interested in making a dime off him. Since then we have become great Facebook friends and I look forward to flying with him in the spring.
