working machines

[bones]

There is hardly a week goes by when the phone doesnt ring with someone wanting to know, if i know of any machines fit for work, so now im in the position of offer a couple, and not one bite! so what gives, what all of a sudden no one wants one, or is just that now there is a couple for sale, the tyre kicker have all pulled their heads in???

Put floats on um.

I dont mean to offend you but i think it would be the price for the machines you have that are not easy on the eye, for some one buying there first machine a rosco , or peter green machine are slick and appealing.The two machines for sale appear at first glance to be out of proportion.Just a opinion from a learner looking for a machineCheers

???????for some one buying there first machine a rosco , or peter green machine are slick and appealing.And just as pricey.Besides, a beginer shouldnt even be thinkn of workn one.The two machines for sale appear at first glance to be out of proportion.Workn machines are built for work.This means function and performance before appeal n polish.Im not sayn a polished machine cant work, but it wont stay polished for long.

Hey Brick,

Hey EchoLove dat machine but just my opinion dont go much on tall tailsDont know how to explain it but if i spend 30 to 40 k i want it to look like 30 or 40 kThere fore the roscos and peter green machines are more appealingThose two machines for me as a learner dont look like a fair dinkum auzzie gyroThe gyro mustering i have been involved in has been with simple original open machinesSo i do understand the moos dont mind whats behind themI have a bensen style twin tale 1800 vw direct drive probably wouldnt appeal to many but for 3k and a carton of vb for me helment... i believe brings back the old days of cheap fun flying.... once i finish learning.But im not saying i wouldnt want to spend 40 or 50k later on but if i do the only machines on your site and in auz atm that are appealing and dont look like they have bits bolted on here and there are the R machine and PG machineJust thought you might like a opinion from a learner as to why those machines are not moving

[Echo]

I dunno what"s worse .... a carton of VB or the VW donk.......

Bones,Why on earth would the tyre kickers stick around with the rude prices that you are asking?A used rotax with bits of aluminium to hold it together.

Hey EchoProbably the same they both give me a head acheBut i have to start some whereWhat do people think of the twin tale set up?Thanks

[bones]

The two machines for sale appear at first glance to be out of proportion.Cheers Brick, what do you mean by out of proportion? i am asking seriously here.

Hey BonesDont think i was having a go at you , i was just trying to get across a different point a fewThe White one just looks crowded with the pod.... it just doesnt look right ... and the tall tail looks like it shouldnt be thereTo me and only my opinion it looks messy and i wouldnt buy it for that fact.The other one the seat is off putting the tail doesnt look right.... just looks like every thing has been put on there cause it has to be on there.... it looks a uncomfortable machineAnd again only my opinion i wouldnt be proud to have either machine on the back of a trailer.They just dont all come together and give you that "bloody oath i want that machine" feelingGot no doubt that they preform well and i only dream of having a Rotax one day. I know the engines are worth heaps but i dont think your engine can sell them machines for that much.Im just trying to be honestFor me it Would be like some trying to sell me a Patrol over a landcruiser.Dont rip me head off on here as i was only trying to give you a point of view from a learnerCheers

ok bones don"t bite my head off because you asked seriously. when i first saw it i couldnt work out the mast angle and cheek plates design. so is that where it has to be to hang right .? i thought with a rotax on

[tonydenton]

SO NOW I,M WAITING.

[tonydenton]
