It was flying. ?I think it had around seventy hours on it. ?It had damage to the left wing. ?The plane flew great before the damage.

I don't think Lee's plane was flying yet, although I could be wrong. Lots of KRs have been totaled or substantially damaged by first flights on "pickup".? I could have easily become a statistic myself, and I consider myself to be a pretty good KR pilot.? You get a one-way airline ticket weeks in advance, and when you get there you're under pressure to fly it home, whether you (and it) are ready or not.? Although you could spend a few days going through it to see if it's airworthy, what you really need to do is trailer the thing home and go over it for several WEEKs, to make sure you know exactly how it operates, and if it's really safe to fly...with no pressure to fly it home right now. If trailering a KR home from buying it sounds like a hassle, imagine the hassle of? being in the hospital for a few weeks because something didn't work exactly like you'd hoped or expected...
