Personal rides.

I don't have a singular favorite as a personal ride really. It's whatever suits the flying I'm about to do on that day or whatever I happen to be working on and want to do some flights with it to see how it looks in the air. Right now it's the reworked AlphaSim Phantom using the VC from Tim's T-2 Aircraft. I've repainted it (WIP) to closely resemble the F-4's of the 301st FW of the late 80's. Worked many hours over the years on the Egress System for those birds before we got the F-16's. I have a soft place in my heart for the Phantoms of the 301st/457th.

How much would you ask for it? I drove one here in England around Goodwood and it was a lot of fun but broiling hot - the back of my shirt soaked through in minutes!

Sounds like a severe lack of insulation around the radiator lines that run down the centre of the tub!
What would I asking?
Hard to put a rational price on it, five years building time, $A9,000,00 for the paint alone, US$13,000 for the engine and we sort of stopped counting when the other bills topped the A$200,000 mark!
There have been a couple of 'offers' to consider, maybe the most tempting so far is close to A$395,000, but as our 'Pacific Peso' is only buying US$00.70 at the moment that figure looks a bit shabby on a count back.
Of course, it would buy most of parts I need to finish my 911 restoration!
Bloody crap exchange rates!
