I'm trying to understand this without raising the BS flag.jd wrote:please get a catalog from wag-aero.there prices are a bit steep.i quoted the fuselage price as being completely welded.believe it or not they actually charge more for it being completely welded.in my opinion thats bullshit!i just bought a 1939 j4a for $12500,i just gotta rebuild the engine.theres lotsa j3 and j4 cubs out there complete and flying for around $18000
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.
