Hi guys,
Looking for some guidance. Years ago, I bought Eagle kits 901 though 915. The 911 instrument kit was minus the instruments. Then a "life event change" came along, and it all went into storage. The fuselage is on the gear, turtle deck installed, tail feathers on, nut plates installed. Lower left wing is finished, lower right wing is almost finished but needs wing tip bow rounding. 22 of the 24 upper wing ribs are also built. I'm still doing an inventory, but several kits are still in their original packaging, including the canopy kit. Checking the Aviat price list, I was shocked to see that lot would have set me back $117,000 in today's prices. Given that you can buy flying Eagles for a lot less than that, it's obviously nowhere near worth that. I'm not sure if I can afford the expense of engine and prop to finish her off. I'm debating putting her up for sale as is. Question: what would be a fair price to ask? Any guidance would be very much appreciated.
Obviously, if I do decide to sell, I would encourage on site inspection.
It would be a chance for somebody maybe to complete a 2017 build year Christen eagle, which would be almost unique.
Thanks!
