My suggestion is get your CFI, and aircraft paperwork and insurance inorder. Create your own 501-C3, then have your kids create a website and start pre-selling rides. If you sit in the back, and give flight training, cg should not be an issue, you would have a marketable asset. Seems like the -51 on tour is making some money.

As for nobody throwing money at your for your T6 project, well, do you really expect anyone to step forward like we have for Bill when you keep picking fights with everybody?
Maybe it is just me, but I find it odd that people would be willing to donate money to increase the value of another's personal property. Bill even says he may not restore the plane! When someone makes an offer to help fund something under those circumstances, is it against forum rules (or common sense) for me to question the sensibility of doing so?Many have offered financial help. So, if you would like to contribute, you may send a check to...
I can't guarantee what will happen with the plane, that it will be restored or not.
