should I buy one of these or wait a bit untill Rick gets finnished building his? .... *-)

reading the 16D powerplants will be removed before the aircraft are delivered to the buyer,
I'll wait for Ricks.

besides I don't have a garden big enough to keep it in.. 8)

Note that the Jetstreams will come sans engines and "unserviceable" (i.e. grounded until you do an extremely expensive and costing more than its actual value) inspection and acquire new (used) engines for the aircraft should you ever want to fly it again. Hell, even if you want it for your garden, it'd be a hell of a task to find even old Azatou's and props to put on there to make it "look" right. Typical government sale. Get your hopes up for a good museum piece and then yank the rug right out from under ya. :)

In addition to Chris's comments these are the version that was virtually unsellable on the civil market due to those engines. :worried:

It's going to be toys or scrap only :(

To get the airplane to NZ would probably be more expensive than the plane itself.:)
