Just a quick update. I have stripped the airframe, engine and all and will be starting some repairs this coming month. The parts at first glance look to be about 6k from Challenger, without shipping. Will be shopping around locally as soon as I have some cash on hand. The recovering of the fuselage and raw materials such as paint is estimated at around 6k if I do spray painting myself. So things are looking up.

@ johnythelaw, ek is bly om te hoor dit is so n' oulike aeri, as ek nou net eendag kan voel hoe hy vlieg :lol: . My hart bloei vir n' 582, ek het selfs begin kyk na die minder veilige 532, n' ou kyk na minimum 30k vir n' 582, dan n' nuwe prop en radiator en mountings. Ek het selfs gekyk na die ouens wat die BMW engines convert om te sien of dit nie dalk goedkoper sal wees nie, die setup is net te swaar vir die challenger. Al wat oor bly is Hirth en Simonini wat albei ook amper die prys van n' klein plaas is. Ek sal baie vinniger weer in die lug kom as ek net die 503 terug sit en hom maar solo vlieg, aangesien ek n' spaar prop het.
