Did your money make you angry, or something? Trying to figure out why you are making it go away so quickly...
:P
Seriously, what a project. Wow. Maybe he's just trying to get rid of the cash before the govt comes for it.

Not as expensive as you might think - I'm doing all the work - I bought a bunch of surplus Ti tubing that cost me less than stainless . . . .
However, I've made the electroless nickel plater rich - spent a bunch having all the light plates rescreened as well.

I think I saw a video of it somewhere. Amazing... You might find something about it if you do a search on BT. Sorry about that 99. Oh no you didn't... You did, didn't you? Amazing work Dee, just amazing.

My S211 came from Haiti, but never flew there - Chuck Thornton bought all 6 that went to Haiti in the late 80s, but sold 4 to Singapore, and 2 remained in US - mine is one of these - about 600hrs TT on it.
I recently imported 5 more for friends that were surplus to the Singapore AF - they were in Perth, Australia. There were a total of 20 aircraft that were sold - most of them made their way to the US.
Great little aircraft with JT15D-4C engine (similar to Citation) - Martin Baker MK10 0/0 ejection seats, pressurized, air conditioned - super easy to fly. Fuel burn not too bad - about 60 gal / hr at 280 (RVSM limited). Cruises at about 340 knots, will do 350 knots on the deck on a cool day. Not the best performer, but economic for a jet.
