That’s a neat project. Hope he is able to complete it. There’s really nothing like the defiant out there in the e/ab world besides the velocity twin, sorta. I couldn’t scratch build one. too old, no space

Those are so rare I’m really curious what it’ll go for. Wish I could afford it.

Thanks Marc 😁

Looks like the ad is gone

Maybe they know something I don’t

Someone bought that 250k berkut. I’m blown away

Sure seems like a good buy. The engine has to be worth that much alone. Throw another g5 and a gps and hat in autopilot in it and it seems like a great xc machine. Too bad I don’t fit

I am told that it is.

Wanna overpay for a berkut? A bargain at 249k with an outdated panel https://www.barnstormers.com/classified-1797267-Berkut-360-Serial-006.html?catid=18719

Rajah thanks gotta get my daily fix of those sweet canard deals

It’s weird now the last post I can see in this thread is from sept 16. It won’t show me past page 45

Yeah I should definitely write the check to a guy that says 18 year old tires are still serviceable. I’m sure the rest of the plane is tip top after his careful assessment. Especially with fiberglass repairs involved 🙄

it’s an indication of how well the plane has been cared for.

I asked for more pics and the details he sent included the tires are from 2008 and still good. It’s enough to make me run away

Looks like a nice plane. Tempting

There’s a cozy mkiv project on the Facebook group. He’s asking 25k for it but he bought it from an estate and doesn’t seem very knowledgeable. Too many questions for me. I didn’t see it posted here. Sorry if I missed it and it was

However, if the applicant's aircraft is under repair, in shipment, or under construction at that time, then the Director can grant a conditional waiver to allow the processing of a permit with the requirement that the applicant must have the aircraft certificated and airworthy within six (6) months of the effective date." From here https://hidot.hawaii.gov/airports/files/2013/01/17-SmallPlane.pdf

Yes, but somewhere in there is a six month limitation for the hangar. Let me see if I can find it

The only guy I know was a year ago in a lancair https://www.6zqpilot.com/

Don't come across planes based at kamuela often. Sure! I wouldn't mind picking his brain a bit or flying over to test fit the plane for me if he doesn't mind More rambling thoughts.the grumman is the ideal hawaii plane imo because you can fly with the canopy cracked but finding a decent one is a bit of a disaster. Plus the corrosion thing. And the weird bonded wings

Oh and I can't afford a velo a bd-4 also fits the mission perfectly but good luck finding one flying for sale. I've been watching Wittman w10 might too but I'm a big guy, 6'2 280 (but going down slowly) so fit might be an issue.

Yeah, I know. I've been down that road. Good luck fighting the state. I got them to relent some but I think they said they'd give me 90 days or six months. I can't remember. You might could get it registered and a tail number assigned in that time and sneak by but I kinda doubt it. Also no paint work allowed period. They might take exception to glass work too, I'm not sure. I don't own a garage so I can't start there and move to a hangar later either. I could maybe set up a plastic garage in the yard but I live like right by a bay and the corrosion is insane here Also there are no DARs here so you have to go through the fsdo. Last guy that did that they made him truck his airplane to diingham to test it. They're trying to close Dillingham. He said he wouldn't do any of it again. Yes you could probably fly a dar out... The certified airplanes here are just junk after sitting around the ocean and I've always wanted an experimental anyway so I've been looking around for s.o.etching that'll work tk carry me, my wife, and a 45 pound dog inter island. Vans prices have gotten ridiculous, Mustang ii won't really fit the dog easily, thorp maybe if I can find an s18, We're too big for a long ez and dog... A cozy fits the mission efficiently. I don't need the speed but when gas is 7.50 a gallon efficient is nice. Plus fiberglass doesn't corrode. Theres a rutan defiant on barnstormers with a trailer. That's a good option because the strake width isn't an issue and it comes in its own container. Roll on roll off shipping isn't bad a d the trailer is worth the cost of the kit when it gets here but I'm not sure that's a project for a first time builder to dive into with no glass experience Phone typos a d a huge run on mess. Sorry. Tl,Dr flying in Hawaii sucks

Hangars are available, about $800 a month. I can get one immediately but they won’t let me build a plane in one, so I’d need a flying or at least registered aircraft to get one. thanks for the link. Maybe you’re right and it’s not worth pursuing

Hello, some previous posts mention you might be able to get a cozy broken down in a shipping container, sort of on a diagonal. I think at the strakes they’re something like 111” wide, so i’m having hard time visualizing how that is done. Does anyone have maybe some photos of one stuffed in something like a 40’ high cube container? Alternatively, you think it would be possible to fit ferry tanks in back seats and ferry it, provided a professional would take the job? If the back seats are right on the CG, as I’ve read, maybe that’s not a bad way to go if a ferry pilot would touch it. It would need to cover about 2100nm plus reserves
