Taylorcraft 2000 LLC Is FOR SALE 3-5-08

[Hank Jarrett]

The assets are for sale. Anyone ready to pony up?

OK, The Taylorcraft assets are for sale. Is it time for all the talkers among us to step forward, if that's what we really want. Anyone know how many owners there actually are out there? The assets are listed at $750,000. That's 1,000 shares at $750 each. How many potential buyers do we have?
There are lots of problems, but they aren't worth talking about if we don't own the assets. Don't ANYONE get the idea they can make a profit on this kind of "investment". You WON'T. You may be able to get your money back from another "investor" but any earnings above the basic dollars will be a dead loss (at best).
Who wants to own a piece of an airplane company?

Harry is such a schmuck. :grumpy: What about all those who ordered (and are still waiting for) parts prior to all this?

I wish I had the $$ to buy the TC. Someone needs to do just that and put a good reputation back into the name of Taylorcraft airplanes.

Then let's hope that AT LEAST the upcoming change announcement involves a change in the ownership status of Type Certificates A696 through A700.

If Harry still has a legal interest in 1A9 or another TC, at least the MAJORITY of T-craft owners falling under A696-700 can be free of this albatross.

For God's sake Forrest, I know you don't want to be in the airplane building business, but the Foundation needs to own the TC's and at least be in the licensing business for replacement parts. That would only mean that the Foundation licenses the drawings and data to XYZ parts manufacturing business like Univair or Wag-Aero or some cottage industry guy... like the people building Bungee tools and T-craft jack stands. People who already have PMA ability and a relationship with the FAA.
