Of its present condition, no. It is on the flybaby web page and if you can
imagine the fuse and one stab and elevator without skin then you have it. I
am asking for what I paid ( not what I have put in it since I got it) minus
what I figure that the rebuild aill cost. 6000-1500=4500 which I think is
fair. The only damaged part was the fuse itself and mr. Bowers believes that
it could be fixed, but I wouldn't take that route myself. Thanks for the
interest.
