Quick story: Friend of mine has a -6A, and has been building a -7A for the last 5 years. He just wants to sell the -7A but wants to finish it first. He doesn't have time to finish it (or says he doesn't) and wants to pay me to finish. Here is what he is offering:
Emp, Wings, Fuse, Panel, Wiring, & Engine are all done.
The only things he wants me to do are:
Canopy (Slider)
Baffling
Cowl
Prop (Constant Speed) & Spinner
Fairings & Fiberglass (tips also)
HE is estimating that it can easily be done in 350 hours. He has offered me $10,000 to finish it.
First, does 350 hours sound do-able? This would be my first time tackling all of the above, so I'd be a little slower, but it would also help me when it comes time to do mine.
Second, does $10k sound reasonable?
Third, $10k is all he wants to pay. So if I have to buy any special tools, it comes out of that $10k (with the exception of parts). His logic is that I'll need those same tools anyways when my build gets to that point.
He also said he would let me fly it while it is for sale. He would be keeping it in my hangar anyways.
So, should I consider doing this? Thoughts?
