Is this the Super Skyrocket that cam up for sale? Make sure you understand what you are looking at. The SSR has some limited capabilities. Those are interesting conversions but I’m not sure they really were practical. It climbs faster to altitude and goes a little faster but drinks a lot of fuel and won’t carry much for longer flights. Full fuel, one person in most cases.

Yes it is the one with rather optimistic price given the damage history. I've had the hots for one of these ever since Jack Riley tried to talk me into buying one in the mid 1990's... he was on hell of a salesman.
