I think maxred has it right. I wouldn't buy an aircraft without having flown it, or having had it flown by someone whose judgement I trusted very well. On the other hand, I wouldn't let a marginally qualified prospective buyer fly my aircraft solo (which of course is the only mode in your aircraft). You'll probably find that it's up to you to arrange suitable insurance for a qualified buyer's representative. If the UK and Australian law is similar, and it usually is, the prospective buyer will run into trouble demonstrating an 'insurable interest'. I once wanted to test fly a prospective purchase on which the owner's flight risk policy had lapsed. After a lot of effort, I did manage to get limited cover but it wasn't straightforward. Best of luck for a quick sale.
