KR>Cost of IFR radios?

2008-10-12 Thread Thomas Brock
I'm looking at a lot of planes but have noticed the higher cost of aircraft that are IFR certified. I know that the sky is the limit on avionics equipment, but there must be some low end ball park figure on the cost or value of radios to meet the minimum IFR certified requirement. So my question is

To all list members, I'd like to first say thank you for all of your assistance and replies. I've learned a lot about these aircraft in just a short time. As per your advice, since I am a beginner pilot, I am trying to slow down and not make any rash decisions regarding the KR planes and my non e

50's from the early sixties seem to be selling in my price range, but still with high time engines. Is this about right for these aircraft? Is a 10-15,000 hour airframe still safe to fly? Thanks in advance for your reply. Thomas Brock Philip Maley wrote: > Thomas > > I have been

Hi Dan, Are you too a night owl? I really appreciate your reply. I agree that I could have an A&P rig up a dual stick control. As for the right plane, I bet I could probably post to the list members and clubs about the kind of KR that I need. What I would really love to have is a tricycle gear, Co

Thanks to all of you veteran flyers and KR owners. I have a much better picture of what is needed for my location. Thanks to you, I was able to contact Bob Jennings in Anchorage, Alaska.

2008-10-12 Thread Thomas Brock
I hope this is not too naive a question, but here goes: In my research, it seems that some very experienced pilots have bought their FLYING KR airplanes and trailered them to their home locations. Why would anyone want to disassemble the wings, buy a trailer, and drive the airplane back home? Am I
