Default RE: What to do with old pattern planes...

JLK,

Whether or not you "let go" of these fine vintage planes is a decision only you can make. I believe I can say in confidence that there will be at least one or more readers of this forum that would be more than happy to take these planes, finish them, and put them back in the air where they belong, possibly even flying in a BPA contest this year.

The down side of this would be a symptom like "seller's remorse" where you really thought you wanted to get rid of something, but after you sold it, you were sick that you did so. I suggest you split the difference and let go of one of them...perhaps the one that needs the most work.... then... even if you do have "seller's remorse" you'll have that last plane to take care of it. One more way to look at it would be a saying I use when I see something I want but watch the prices go into orbit and that is, "THERE IS ALWAYS ANOTHER ONE !!!"

I can certainly understand where you a coming from on this statement, but in this area, I always tend to lean toward putting a vintage plane back in the air.

Good Luck !!!
