looking for partner to buy a plane for time building

[splash333]

I want to buy something cheap that I can fly all over and build tons of time fast. I found this one on tradeaplane.http://www.trade-a-plane.com/listing?id=1623788
We could each put in 6k and fly the heck out of it, even split time and fly for dirt cheap. There would be no limit to where we fly or how much time we could build

Your location would be helpful.

Nothing wrong with that. Start at 10K and see what he says. That's about what I paid for the same vintage plane in 1984....

The 66 has the pull starter (T handle to engage the starter). This is cheaper to fix than the newer ones and won't break as often.

That's true if we offer 10k we each only need to put in 5k and I have my half ready

You might want to "save up" for the first annual, too. They tend to be pricey until the mechanic gets to know the plane. Better yet, find a mechanic that will trade flying time for wrenching time.

Make sure it's had a real annual before as well. I had a friend that bought an airplane without a good inspection and it nearly cost the same price of the aircraft after the first annual.
