Gunner Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 I'm looking at a Hughes 269B that is for sale but have mainly driven Robbies... I really don't know much about this type. Can anyone shed some light on what to look for in these birds? Is there an owners group out there on the web or something? Here is the one I am looking at: Hughes 269B for sale... Thanks!Gunner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pokey Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 i seen that one on ebay too, just this morning as matter of fact ! i took quick look at component times, a few things i would question,,,,,,,, The B model is a good ship tho, i've had mine 15 years. The price seems a bit high & i would NOT recommend bidding on this ship w/ out a thorough pre-buy inspection !! I have also worked on these machines for close to 20 years & have seen wayyyyyyyy tooo many ships that the owner got a "rude" awakening when he brought it to me for a minor problem, annual, scheduled or even just a pre-flight inspection. It appears to already have a "high bidder" tho, and IF that is you?--make sure stipulation B4 handing over payment is a pre-buy, done by a qualified 269 mechanic. BTW i like the A model for 110?! and as far as an "owners group"? there was one a few years ago,,, never came to be much, there is another these days , but doesnt seem going to amount to much either: http://www.hughes269.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
