N998DS has been sold. I will now invest the money into a Hot Tub and other things I can enjoy around the house. Here is an interesting point that might help others in the future. I have Falcon insurance and the new buyer was seeking the same company. They insisted that he have one hour with a CFI in my Fox. I called my Falcon agent and asked him who was best qualified to give the new buyer a checkout, a CFI that may have never flown a Fox much less mine or the builder how built the flew the airplane. His comment was, "That makes a lot of since". Long story short, Falcon agreed to insure my buyer under the understanding that "I" would provide one hour of "indoctrination" flight training in my Fox. We did that today and I logged the one hour training into his flight log book.
I know the difficulties I've seen on the list with people trying to get flight training with CFI's in a Fox. This proves you can negotiate these issues. Don't take the first thing you here. Use your imagination and negotiate. It might pay off.

Don,
congrats seem to be in order, since you have been trying to sell your Fox for quite some time and now you finally accomplished it.
I always enjoyed your logic and positive comments and I hope you will continue to contribute to this list whenever you get a chance or feel the urge.

Don, I'm not sure whether it's appropriate to offer my congrats or condolences about 998DS. You've been with us a long time and hopefully you'll stay with us to, at the minimum, lurk and offer tidbits of your wisdom from time to time. Enjoy that hot tub and if you need a service call, let me know!

Appreciate that Mike. While you are here we can share a bottle of wine in the hot tub. Come to think of it, that doesn't sound to good.

I can fly you up here to sit in our hot tub that we used all my airplane funds to build a deck for last year.

Well, I got up early this morning and drove two hours to pick up the new buyer at his home airport. Drove back to PHF where he officially took deliver. Once around the pattern and off he headed to the North. I sat next to the runway for his departure and must say I had a moment of sadness as he rolled the wings and headed off.
