I'm trying to understand this without raising the BS flag.
It's BS that they charge more for a fully welded fuselage, instead of raw tubing or a tack welded fuselage? Maybe I'm missing your point. A fully welded fuselage involves more labor. Why is charging more unreasonable?
Most complete and flying Cubs I've seen start around $40K. I suspect "lotsa j3 and j4 cubs" for half of that is a tad exaggerated. Once in a while a person can find a bargain, but I don't think "lotsa" applies. |
