You are likely to find that those are incompatible in the real world. "Airworthy" and that budget just don't belong in the same sentence.

this is just an initial budget, im prepared to make corrections and all other maint, that should be considered before flying anything. but i would like to have something to work off of, prefer something that has an engine, frame, hub, blades. rebuilding engine isnt an issue unless parts are unavail. would prefer blades be good shape. other things can be rebuilt as needed.

Not to sound like a broken record (vis-a-vis the other thread on this subject)...but what about training? How much do you have budgeted for that?

i will obviously need to be trainned to fly one im sure, i understand the concern. im not one to just jump in and see what hits me first. however im sure that will take money as well and i will be prepared to do that as well. a pm has been sent.

Hi Bennito,

Good deal...attend a fly-in and fly with a CFI for a bit...it's incredibly fun, and you'll get to see if it's something you want to continue doing.

Good luck!
