It's been a while since I have been here but open cockpit flying season has started again now that the air temps are regularly above 50 degrees, so I'm thinking Charger. I finished my condition inspection earlier this month and realized I only flew the Charger 20 hours last year. With a flying season only about 6 months long in Utah I am considering selling the Charger and will be down to one plane again. It's not easy to price such a unique plane so I was wondering if any builders out there have a good estimate of what the parts would cost to build the basic Marquart Charger. I'm talking about just the wings and fuselage. Engine, prop, and avionics are easy to guess. Steel tube, wood, flying wires, hardware, and fuel tanks are the parts that are difficult to estimate since I have not purchased things like that for many years. Anyone have a good guess as to what that stuff would cost in todays dollars. All new of course.
My problem with deciding to sell is that every time I fly the plane I come back all smiles and change my mind about what I want to do.
