I found your site, and I'm still trying to digest everything in it.
A local car dealership has a Convair C-131 nose section in their parking lot for sale. I suddenly got the bright idea of turning it into a flight simulator (I've got plenty of real-world flight experience, with an A&P cert., but zero simulator-building experience). It's virtually fully-in-tact, with seats, yokes, and instruments.
Although I haven't talked to the dealer, my brother stopped by, and they told him that it's got a pricetag of $15,000.
That seemed way out of line. Does anyone have thoughts on such a $15,000 price tag for a dusty, but fairly complete, Convair C-131 nose section? Thanks in advance.
