Wim dropped in for his usual coffee this morning and told me that while in P\u00e9rigueux yesterday, he’d bumped into someone who might be a buyer for my X-Air, 56NE. So we agreed to go to Malbec together straight after lunch, get it out from under its covers and get it ready for the guy to come and view it in the early evening.<\/p>\n

That was a nice surprise and it also gave me an opportunity to finish off the little bit of cable-tying that was still left to do, making the X-Air fully flyable again and ready for sale.<\/p>\n

It didn’t look too bad at all after it had been pulled to the front of the barn where it’s been kept, as the following few shots show, and I’m thinking that with my next treatment due on Thursday, I might try and get a short flight in in it before then.<\/p>\n

The guy arrived as planned and it turned out that he’s a student at the ULM school that’s now at P\u00e9rigueux Bassilac. He’s about to get his licence and is looking for his first starter aircraft, as we all did at that stage.<\/p>\n

He spent quite a while looking around 56NE and said that he’d give me a call after he’s thought about it. So I’m waiting for his call, but in any case, I’ve now got some good pictures to list the aircraft for sale on Le Bon Coin.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
