no data plate other than that it looks complete . Motor is in brakes baggage compartment controls, Wings are built. $5000, Does this sound like a good deal?

I just went through this. The guy was asking far more than I've as willing to pay. Now that I've been through it I would have offered him less. It all depends on a lot of different things. One thing can make or break the project and go from an investment to a money pit. Pays to have someone else who knows more go over it before laying down the money. Personal building skill plays alot into it too.

Lol that's a good one.

Hobbies and Investment don't go together.

LOL!  I'm referring to recouping some of the invested cost at resale. We made $2500 on my last Avid and got to fly it for a year. Lifes hard...harder if you are stupid :)
