What's the scrap value of a Traumahawk?

[Henning]

If your comment is directed at my post, I think you mis-read it.

The guy said he wanted to fly it 900 hours and then sell it. I figured it would take him around 4.5 years to do it so I broke down the costs over 4.5 years and 900 hours.

From the OP:

My thought was to buy it with a fresh annual and fly it as hard as I possibly could for one year. Then at the next annual I would sell what I could and scrap the rest.

My thought was to buy it with a fresh annual and fly it as hard as I possibly could for one year. Then at the next annual I would sell what I could and scrap the rest. Obviously this only works if I can buy it for a VERY good price. It is a fairly nice looking airplane for a used up ex-trainer; my only concern is the engine making it another 900hrs or so. I for sure don't want to pay to put a new engine on a plane with 900hrs left to live.

I guess he is referring to the plane being 900 hours left to go on the wing life limit.

If he has the fuel money he can get in 300 flying quite frequently which can get him his IR (I did it with a single KX-170b and an ADF and so have others) and everything but the complex time for the commercial.
