People that try to sell something like this in aviation need a beatdown.

I dunno, sounds to me like a standard lease-back arrangement, they're just looking for people to invest in the planes, whereas the usual flight school finds people who already own the planes to lease them back.

Try fitting anymore than one person in there with full long range tanks.

I like how they mention numerous times how their Cessna 150 has 'Long Range Tanks' so you can fly to the Bahamas. Riiiiight....

Great. Seggy, you can go first. Make sure you take that raft, too. Nevermind that you'll have to pump fuel OUT to come in underweight after the long range tanks, the pilot and the raft. Kinda kills the whole purpose.

Alright now your both being negative and making yourselves sound bad. Its not an ultra-light its a Cessna 152. There are a lot of people that take a 152 to the Bahamas. Your only burning 6 gallons an hour so its a fuel efficent way to do it and with 24(?) gal a side you have plenty of fuel to do some island hopping for two. Part 91 doesn't require a raft, approved life jackets will do, 5 pounds. Two people 180, 150 pounds. Swim suits for two, and light baggage 20 pounds. Guess what you could still take off in a 152 depending on equipment installed and BEW with full fuel. And at 90 KTAS and 5-6 hours of fuel you can make it to a lot of islands in the Bahamas. Remember besides being used for flight training they are used world wide for bush flying, there are not to many common and easily accessible aircraft with their takeoff and landing distances.
As for the actual e-bay thing...scam.

Yeah..... BUT I don't think you would be buying the aircraft. (or leasing it or whatever) But on the other hand, myself (155 lbs) I could see buying a 152. (once this whole flight school debt thing goes away). And if I did own a 52 I would not hesitate taking it to the Bahamas.
My point being, you both, kell and seggy, while knocking on this ad (which I support the knocking of it) made yourselves sound kinda ignorant, and I know you are both very well respected in these parts. So, you now see my dilemma, people will automatically assume that "since kellwolf and seggy said it was crazy to fly a 152 to the Bahamas, I will not even consider it."
In actuality you are both slightly off base, and those types of things are done every day, and done very safely. Remember, West Palm Beach is only 60 miles from West End.
You are both senior as far as posting things arround here and I would hope that some newbie pilot and newbie member of JC would take your word as gold, because sometimes you are both right on, sometimes when you don't research something completely you can sound like idiots.
No offense intended ... Keep posting
