What will it sell for?

How's that working out for you on the one you have now?

Yes, that's one of the reasons I would buy it at $2000, it makes it worth my while to drive out, takE it apart, load it on a trailer, bring it home, part it all out and sell it. Or I could try sinking $60k into it and doing a full refurb and glass deck and see if I can get $75k for it.

If I can't make money off of it, I don't want it.

Still own it, but haven't seriously tried to sell it in over a year either. The economy outside of Wall Street is just now starting to recover. But I didn't put the glass in as a sales investment, I put it in as a use investment.

Depends about 20 years ago southern ca. used to see crumpled and all bent up UH-12 trucked in on Monday and fly out on Friday with new paint job, rivets on the data tag also looked new.
I believe it used to be if I can take a Flap off another plane and put it on another why can't I just move the data tag and save all the work of moving all the parts over.

While I'm sure you're making this in jest, there's a bit more to helicopters than just "moving" a data plate.

Each time life limited component has a serial number and part number attached. Without a history card it's scrap. Not saying some "entrepreneurs" have not taken timed out parts and "recreated" new cards for them and resold. Fortunately when those types are caught it's a trip to the Federal penitentiary for them.

Also moving dataplates from one airframe to another can have dire consequences.
