Folks. Before you get yourself into trouble read the ad as it is written. " the demand for this type of aircraft has skyrocketed due to the fact that they are or can be sport pilot legal and prices have gone up into the 40,000 range" This type of aircraft... are or can be Sport Pilot legal. That is not a wrong statement. In his replies he adds: "According to my experience, a new weight and balance and you should be good to go as As a LSA" ...be good as as a LSA... A true statement again. As for repair estimates, any such seller is convinced of the low numbers he is suggesting. Nothing new and nothing wrong with that - wouldn't you do that too? " I would guess...total approximately 4000 US dollars, A&P ... who I believe gave a quote of somewhere around 4500... " In all totally legal. No false promises made, since guesses and beliefs are not promises. The knowledgeable shopper will know what he is getting into. The inexperienced buyer should be put off by just looking at the images. The plane is totaled and worth the center section. Which could be used for a corrosion plagued 415-C.

That pile of junk is maybe good for the centersection and wing spars only, the rest should be made into beer cans. I sent the seller a note about LSA claims, fraud and lawsuits. Let's see what happens. I'm surprised no one sent a note to Ebay about it.
