Well the whole family is taking this really hard! I didn't realize how attached we all were to this little Cub. I am going to see how much the insurance will sell it back to me for. I do want another Cub to fly one day and now I know I made a huge mistake selling this one. I told my wife if I go buy another J-3 it will not be the same. I have some thoughts about buying a new Legend Cub in the future. I know it will take a ton of money to fix this airplane, more than its worth. I am wondering if the fuse has lots of damage at the wing attach points and gear attach points? I have no idea what is a fair price to buy it back for? Not sure if they will sell it to me or if I have to bid on it??? This is all new to me. What do you guys think? I am not interested in rebuilding it myself, I would pay someone. Or should I just walk away and go buy a new legend?
The buyer wants the prop SOOOO BAD! He wants to hang it up so he can brag to all his friends about his plane crash! Makes me sick!
Maybe I should just buy it and hang it in my tree in the back yard so the wrong person don't end up with it again.
My wife said the plane didn't want to leave us so it committed suicide!
