    With the price of gas you are probably much better off just having it shipped if the seller is wiling.

      20Km = 12.5 miles, assuming the "Km" is short for "kilometers" and not K=1000 and m=miles

        I try really hard. I was using 2.2 as multiplier thinking of Kilo to Lb! LOL!

            There may be a "Falcon Tool Company" overseas but 20,000 miles is a very long way to go for a plane

            The real problem is that we have a long weekend here in Ontarion and everybody is going that direction and cause a big mess of traffic I am still trying to figure out if this thing is worthed.

              Looks like nobody is familiar with this plane.

              If it were me, I'd probably drive over and pick it up. I know nothing about tuning/sharpening a plane to make it usable, so an old cheap plane might be a good one to practice on. If it turns out to be a dog, it would at least make a cool looking shop ornament to hang on the wall.

                Particularly when going the "other" way would knock that down under 5,000...

                I agree with mschrank, for that price it's decent practice if nothing else.
