Gentlemen,
New guy on the forum asking the first question:
How safe is it to buy a used Biplane?
I know I will not have the time to built until retirement, so can I take the short cut and buy someoneâs pride or project?
Does a pre buy inspection really reveal potential catastrophic errors?
Looks like a single seat Pitts can be had for around $20K, which seems to be quite a bargain considering time invested, parts and effort.
I am mostly interested in a Pitts or Skybolt or Hatz or WWI replica, needs to be aerobatic capable.Thanks in advance for any guidance
