    Metal or wood, if you have a prop strike, engine is treated for shock loading. Pros and cons for both materials however! I’d say the material was the biggest factor in those days – metal was at a premium!

    Yeee i agree. I just know how expensive eBay is to sell. I mean straight away you lose 10% as a final value fee, 6% PayPal fee, 20% to the tax man, and 20% to the VAT man, that also assumed you have no employees to pay too. I’d bet you lose 60% on a sale via eBay, which is where i bet most companies sell these things. Guess it looks expensive on the surface, but actually, it isnt that bad. Thanks goodness i dont buy and sell aircraft parts for a living :-s

    …i mean, if people are paying a premium from a dealer (assuming buyers can only purchase from dealers, as they are the only people that can get this stuff) folk must really be losing out on money….

    Would you sell something to the highest bidder?

    Also – it’s just occurred to me, that without dealers/traders, none of this stuff would even be available ?

    Always happy to pay for things. Yes this is fun, but not so much for traders – they rely on it. Just think its a bit unfair asking people to avoid traders, thats all.

    Sure but dealers run a business, and rely on making money…

    If there we’re no business’s, none of this stuff would even be available……

    To be honest, i’m happy to pay a premium for something, if it’s genuine and nice.

    Filling a car up at Tesco costs a premium, but we have to pay it….
